Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Potassium Cocoate
- Soap-type anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; watch pH and skin tolerance.
- Cocamide DEA
- Cocamide DEA foam/emulsion stabilizer; EU restriction III/60 (<1%), potential allergen & dioxane risk.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Amylopectin
- Polysaccharide as binder and viscosity controller; starch-derived, no significant skin irritation
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- PEG-150 Distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; mild comedogenic risk.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Menthyl Lactate
- Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Ci 44090
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
