Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
- Mild amino acid amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; low irritation, biodegradable
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Xylitylglucoside
- Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Anhydroxylitol
- Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Coconut Alcohol
- Coco alcohol (long-chain fatty alcohol), not ethanol; emulsifier aid/viscosity control at <5%; gentle, non-allergenic
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Avena Sativa Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
