Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Cocamine Oxide
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Cetyl Betaine
- Amphoteric surfactant, mild foam boosting and conditioning; improves foam stability, minimal irritation to hair and skin.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Laureth-8
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-18 Glyceryl Oleate/Cocoate
- PEG-18 glyceryl estemulsifier for O/W systems; monitor PEG degradation and skin barrier integrity.
- Fusanus Spicatus Wood Oil
- Sandalwood oil used as fragrance base; essential oil category, potential allergen, strict labeling compliance required.
- Sodium Lauroamphoacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for gentle cleansing; rich foam, low irritation to eyes and skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Lauryl Betaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; foaming and stabilizing. Eye irritation may exceed anionics, use low levels for sensitive skin.
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Flower Oil
- Essential oil for fragrance and astringency; contains allergens like linalool, limited by III/350
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sea Salt
- Sea salt for exfoliation/minerals; particle size matters, high ionic strength when dissolved, check compatibility.
- Pogostemon Cablin Oil
- Patchouli oil for fragrance; contains patchoulol, potential irritant/allergen, use cautiously.
- Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Magnesium Nitrate
- Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Farnesol
- Farnesol, a fixative and deodorant; listed as a EU 26 allergen, requires labeling, potential sensitizer.
- D-Limonene
- Citrus terpene used as fragrance and skin conditioner; EU allergen, may cause sensitization at high levels, must be labeled.
