Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
- Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycereth-26
- Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Hydrogenated Coconut Acid
- Hydrogenated saturated fatty acid for emulsification and skin conditioning; coconut-derived, low irritancy.
- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- PPG-5-Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer
- Silicone copolymer for slip and film; occlusive with smooth texture
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Sodium Isethionate
- Mild surfactant with low foam but good cleaning; ideal for sensitive-skin cleansers.
- PEG-55 Propylene Glycol Oleate
- Emollient/viscosity modifier for emulsions; contains PEG, monitor PEG-sensitive skin; adjust HLB for stability.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- C11-15 Pareth-7
- Not decoded yet
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Oryza Sativa Bran Oil / Rice Bran Oil
- Rice bran oil with gamma-tocopherol and oryzanol; emollient antioxidant; patch-test for lipid sensitivity.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Laureth-9
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Glycine Soja Oil / Soybean Oil
- Base emollient with Omega-6 and 9, 1–5%; moderate comedogenicity, use cautiously for oily skin
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Trideceth-12
- Not decoded yet
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- C12-13 Pareth-23
- Not decoded yet
- C12-13 Pareth-3
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Acetate
- Sodium acetate buffer for pH adjustment; sometimes acts as mild fragrance, common in lotions and washes
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Litchi Chinensis Pericarp Extract
- Litchi pericarp extract, flavonoid-rich antioxidant; 0.1–1%, pairs well with metal chelators.
- Citrus Junos Fruit Extract
- Yuzu peel extract; provides antioxidants, low concentration reduces photosensitivity risk.
- Sodium Hydroxide
