Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- 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.
- Cocamide DEA
- Cocamide DEA foam/emulsion stabilizer; EU restriction III/60 (<1%), potential allergen & dioxane risk.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Ethanolamine
- pH adjuster; restricted in cosmetics, potential sensitizer and irritant.
- 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
- Dmdm Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Leaf Extract
- Licorice leaf extract with high glycyrrhizin content, used for soothing and brightening.
- Anthemis Nobilis
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
