Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isopropyl Isostearate
- Light emollient/ester for silky feel; stable, O/W compatible, potentially comedogenic at high levels.
- Isopropyl Shea Butterate
- Not decoded yet
- Dodecane
- Light hydrocarbon oil, low-viscosity lubricant; slight occlusion at high levels, oxidizable, add antioxidants
- Hexadecane
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitan Oleate Decylglucoside Crosspolymer
- Non-ionic emulsifier and foam booster, 0.5–3%; gentle, suitable for sensitive skin cleansing
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Matricaria Recutita Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
