Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Coco-Glucoside Tartrate
- Mild surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; low irritancy profile.
- Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Mild amino-acid surfactant; low irritation; instability in hard water.
- PEG-150 Distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; mild comedogenic risk.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- PEG-4 Rapeseedamide
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Propolis Extract
- Propolis extract for antimicrobial care; complex composition, potential allergy risk.
- Citrus Aurantifolia Fruit Extract
- Lime fruit extract for skin conditioning; contains photosensitizing furocoumarins/allergens, limit concentration, avoid sun exposure.
- Rosa Canina Fruit Extract
- Rich in Vit C and polyphenols, astringent; water-soluble, unstable, add at low temp.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Citrus Limon Peel Oil
- Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.

- Juniper fruit essential oil. Contains camphor and terpinen-4-ol. Camphor is an allergen/neurotoxin; avoid on broken skin, label as essential oil.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle cleansing; rich foam, may sting eyes, good compatibility.
- Capryloyl Glycine
- Functional surfactant with seborrhea-control properties; suited for oily or acne-prone skin.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Ammonium Glycyrrhizate
- Soothing anti-inflammatory and emulsifier; derived from licorice, minor allergen risk
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Hexyl Cinnamal
