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
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Lauryl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant; easy to rinse, low sensitization risk. Often used in shampoos and sensitive skin cleansers
- PEG-3 Distearate
- PEG-3 distearate, mild emulsifier, low irritation; often blended with other emulsifiers to reduce dosage.
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- Verbascum Thapsus Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Octyldodecyl Pca
- Soft, breathable amino acid ester emollient; 5–10%, low comedogenic
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Salix Nigra Bark Extract
- Black willow bark extract with natural salicylic acid precursors; for soothing and exfoliation, test on sensitive skin at low levels.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Cocamide
- Non-ionic surfactant enhancing cleansing and emulsification; coconut-derived, gentle
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- C12-14 Pareth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- PPG-9
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium Distyrylbiphenyl Disulfonate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Acetate
- Sodium acetate buffer for pH adjustment; sometimes acts as mild fragrance, common in lotions and washes
- C11-15 Pareth-7
- Not decoded yet
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Laureth-9
- Not decoded yet
- Glycoproteins
- Glycoproteins for hydration and conditioning; enhance skin barrier; verify source for vegan requirements.
- Trideceth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Acetic Acid
- Provides sourness or buffering; high concentrations are corrosive, pH control is critical in leave-on products
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Ci 60730
- Synthetic colorant for yellow-green tones; use subject to regulatory limits
- Hc Blue No.11
- Not decoded yet
