Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder
- Aloe extract powder for soothing/moisturizing; low solubility, needs dispersion
- Ci 75810
- CI 75810 (Zinc Oxide), inorganic mineral sunscreen. Reflects UV only, low sensitization, but requires high loading (15-25%).
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
