Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Laureth-‐4 Carboxylic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Acrylates/C10-‐30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Polyquaternium-‐39
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Charcoal Powder
- Charcoal; adsorbs impurities/oil for cleansers, provides opacity, can be drying or matte.
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
