Ingredients explained
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentration
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation
- Disodium Pyrophosphate
- Pyrophosphate buffer/chelant/anticorrosive; for scale control in cleansers, dose control needed.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Flavor
- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
