Ingredients explained
- Aqua (Water
- Primary solvent; requires preservatives at high concentration; adjust viscosity with thickeners
- Eau)
- Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Laureth-2
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Salicylate
- Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.
- Laureth-4
- Not decoded yet
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Acid Violet 43
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract
- Fruit extract offering emollience, astringency, and subtle scenting in leave-on and rinse-off formulas.
- Ethyl Linalool
- Fragrance ingredient providing floral notes; listed as one of EU 26 allergens, labeling required.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
