Free of parabensFree of siliconesFree of sulfatesFree of mineral oilFree of formaldehyde releasersContains EU-26 allergensContains fragranceContains PEGContains essential oilsContains alcohol
Formulation view Water-based gel featuring glycerin and propylene glycol for hydration, enriched with essential oils like eucalyptus and rosemary. Acrylates copolymer enhances film formation, stabilized by chelators. Ideal for post-activity cleansing or soothing. Factory observation: High essential oil concentrations require strict allergen threshold control, while film-formers must balance occlusion and breathability to ensure sensory safety.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PEG-18 Glyceryl Oleate/Cocoate
- PEG-18 glyceryl estemulsifier for O/W systems; monitor PEG degradation and skin barrier integrity.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Lavandula Hybrida Oil
- Essential oil for emollience and fragrance; contains allergens like linalool, requires EU 26 labeling
- Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
- Eucalyptus leaf oil, strong essential oil; high irritation, strictly limited usage
- Pinus Pinaster Leaf/Twig Oil
- Pine oil, antimicrobial and deodorant; restricted III/113, allergen risk from citral/citronellal.
- Copper Pca
- Copper PCA chelating agent and humectant; added in trace amounts (0.01-0.1%) to stabilize formulation and supply copper ions.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Coriandrum Sativum Seed Oil
- Coriander seed oil acting as emollient; contains vanillin and other components, use with caution in sensitive skin formulations.
- Eugenia Caryophyllus Bud Oil
- Clove bud oil, natural fragrance and antimicrobial; restricted III/356, eugenol allergen risk.
- Styrene/Acrylamide Copolymer
- Flake-forming opacifier for matte effect; restricted III/66, monitor skin irritation from mechanical friction.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Triethylene Glycol
- Polyol viscosity regulator and fragrance carrier at 5-15%; avoid excessive stacking with other glycols to manage viscosity.
- Betula Lenta Bark Oil
- Bark oil, natural fragrance; essential oil source, monitor for allergenic aromatics.
- Thymus Serpillum Extract
- Thymus serpyllum extract, contains active ingredients such as thymol, used as antibacterial and astringent agent; strong irritancy at high concentrations, dosage needs to be controlled.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil
- Rosemary leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; essential oil, allergen risk, limit usage
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Caramel
- Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.
- Maris Sal
- Natural mineral skin conditioner for exfoliation or soothing; high concentrations (>5%) may cause dryness due to osmotic pressure.
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil
- Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil
- German chamomile oil with alpha-bisabolol for soothing; essential oil with allergen risk, use low, label as fragrance.
- Juniperus Communis Fruit Oil
- Juniper fruit essential oil. Contains camphor and terpinen-4-ol. Camphor is an allergen/neurotoxin; avoid on broken skin, label as essential oil.
- Magnesium Nitrate
- Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Eugenol
- Potent natural fragrance, EU restriction III/71; listed allergen, max 5%, caution for sensitive skin
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
