Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- TEA-Lauryl Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamide MIPA
- Cocamide MIPA; mild surfactant for foam boosting and viscosity; potential sensitizer at high concentrations
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- 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
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Capryloyl Glycine
- Functional surfactant with seborrhea-control properties; suited for oily or acne-prone skin.
- Polyquaternium-11
- Not decoded yet
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Pyridoxine Hcl
- Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate
- Menthoxypropanediol
- Menthol derivative; cooling agent for immediate freshness; concentration control to avoid irritation.
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Hydroxycitronellal
- Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Fumaric Acid
- Dicarboxylic acid buffer; paired with sodium bicarbonate for pH control, < 0.5%.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
