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.
- Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Methyl Glucose Caprate/Caprylate/Oleate
- Succinylated polysorbate emulsifier, mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsion stabilizers.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Cocamidopropylamine Oxide
- Cationic/Amphoteric surfactant, foaming/conditioning; allergenic at high levels, blends with anions.
- Glycereth-18 Ethylhexanoate
- PEG-based ester emulsifier/emollient; contains PEG, caution for sensitive or compromised skin; comedogenic data lacking.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycereth-18
- Not decoded yet
- Lactobacillus Ferment
- Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues
- Sorbeth-230 Tetraoleate
- Sorbeth-230 tetraoleate, anionic emulsifier for lotions and cleansers; gentle cleansing and emulsion stability.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
- Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sorbitan Laurate
- O/W emulsifier; low-comedogenic ester, verify emulsion stability.
- Citrus Paradisi Fruit Extract
- Grapefruit extract; antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use low concentration, avoid sun.
- Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract
- Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
