Formulation view A water-based foaming cleanser using ammonium lauryl sulfate as the primary surfactant, tempered by cocamidopropyl betaine for mildness and foam stability. Sodium hyaluronate, allantoin, urea and rice extract buffer post-wash tightness, with lactic acid for pH tuning. Preserved via phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol and ethylhexylglycerin, plus EDTA. Note: ALS is a strong degreaser—betaine ratio is the key mildness lever; dry or sensitive skin should use sparingly.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

Strong anionic surfactant; high foaming and stripping power. Can be irritating to eyes and damaged skin

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
