Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Coco-Betaine

Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate

Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate

Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.

Melaleuca Alternifolia Extract

Tea tree (Melaleuca) extract for emollient skin conditioning; monitor sensitivity.

Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract

Amur cork tree bark, alkaloid rich; mild irritant, control dosage, avoid strong acids.

Lactobacillus/Rye Flour Ferment

Not decoded yet

Lactobacillus/Soymilk Ferment Filtrate

Soy-fermented filtrate with prebiotics and small molecules; potential allergen, avoid for soy-sensitive individuals

Bacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract

Ferment filtrate with peptides; moisturizing and conditioning, low molecular weight for absorption.

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract

Sea buckthorn fruit extract for skin conditioning; stable at low levels, check phototoxicity at high doses.

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Quillaja Saponaria Bark Extract

Quillaia saponaria bark extract, cleansing foaming agent; contains natural saponins, potentially allergenic, strong foaming but moderate mildness.

Mentha Piperita Oil

Peppermint essential oil, strong cooling; highly irritating and sensitizing at high levels; dilute, avoid in sensitive skin.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Folic Acid

Folic acid, Vitamin B9, used for skin conditioning to support cellular metabolism

Pantothenic Acid

B5 for antistatic, hair care, and skin barrier; water-soluble, keep light-protected.

Pyridoxine

Vitamin B6, water-soluble; skin/hair conditioner/anti-static, poor light stability, protect from light.

Thiamine Hcl

Vitamin B1 hydrochloride; acts as conditioner and fragrance agent, used at low concentrations for skin health and metabolism.

Cyanocobalamin

Vitamin B12 derivative, antioxidant and skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires light-protective packaging, water-soluble

Riboflavin

Vitamin B2 for color and skin care; photosensitive, requires light-shielding packaging

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Octanediol

Octanediol serves as a plasticizer and preservative booster; safe at low concentrations, often used in blends.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
