Ingredients explained

Water

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

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate

Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations

Cocamidopropylamine Oxide

Cationic/Amphoteric surfactant, foaming/conditioning; allergenic at high levels, blends with anions.

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate

Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract*

Chamomilla recutita extract; chamomile, 0.1–1%; soothing anti-inflammatory; caution for ragweed allergies; water phase

Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract*

Not decoded yet

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract*

Rosemary leaf extract, antioxidant; low sensitization risk for most, used at low concentrations

Thymus Vulgaris Extract*

Not decoded yet

Hamamelis Virginiana Bark/Leaf/Twig Extract

Astringent and soothing botanical extract for sensitive or pore care, used at low levels.

Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil

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

Salvia Sclarea Oil

Clary sage oil, aromatic and tonic; contains ketones, limit usage to avoid irritation

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Glycerin

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

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.

PEG-7 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

PEG-7 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, emulsifier and skin conditioning agent.

Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate

Sodium polystyrene sulfonate, water-soluble polymer for thickening and emulsion stability; ion-tolerant

Disteareth-75 Ipdi

Non-ionic thickener; for clear systems, preserves clarity.

Disodium EDTA

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

Tetrasodium EDTA

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

Trisodium Nta

Not decoded yet

Pentasodium Pentetate

Gentle chelator replacing EDTA; prevents oxidation discoloration, low dosage

Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium bicarbonate; buffer and deodorant; alkaline at high pH, potential irritation, control dosage

Sodium Glycolate

Gentle buffering salt for adjusting formulation pH; use with soaps within neutral range.

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

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
