Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Sodium cocoyl glycinate; mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; precipitate in hard water, use chelators
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Sorbitan Palmitate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, typically used in W/O or blending systems. Low toxicity, non-comedogenic.

- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
