Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.
- Punica Granatum Pericarp Extract
- Pomegranate peel extract rich in polyphenols for skin conditioning; low irritancy at typical use concentrations.
- Piper Nigrum Seed Extract
- Pepper seed extract for refreshment and tonic effects. Contains piperine-class compounds; high levels may cause tingering; caution for sensitive skin.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- PEG-18 Glyceryl Oleate/Cocoate
- PEG-18 glyceryl estemulsifier for O/W systems; monitor PEG degradation and skin barrier integrity.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PPG-9
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Pca
- Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.
- Sodium Cocoamphoacetate
- Mild amphoteric surfactant at 0.5–5%; low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin, often paired with anionics.
- Tartaric Acid
- Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin
- Pyruvic Acid
- Pyruvic acid, AHA-like keratolytic; higher irritation at low levels.
- Malic Acid
- AHA for pH buffering; mild at low conc, risk at high, control pH & total acidity
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
