- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Ci 42090/Blue 1
- Not decoded yet
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- PPG-5-Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Argilla/Magnesium Aluminium Silicate
- Kaolin/Clays, sebum absorbent and thickener. High absorbency can dry skin; balance with humectants.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Fumaric Acid
- Dicarboxylic acid buffer; paired with sodium bicarbonate for pH control, < 0.5%.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Montmorillonite
- Not decoded yet
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
