Ingredients explained
- Water\Aqua\Eau
- Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Lauryl Glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Lauramidopropyl Betaine
- Mild amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; potential allergen.
- PEG-7
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl Cocoate
- Not decoded yet
- Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract
- Amur cork tree bark, alkaloid rich; mild irritant, control dosage, avoid strong acids.
- Laminaria Saccharina Extract
- Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Copper
- Not decoded yet
- Pca
- Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.
- PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
- PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.
- 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
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
