Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
- PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.
- Sodium Myreth Sulfate
- Sodium Myreth Sulfate, mild surfactant; good foam, less irritating than SLS.
- Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
- Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.
- Sodium Dilaureth-7 Citrate
- Not decoded yet
- Pyruvic Acid
- Pyruvic acid, AHA-like keratolytic; higher irritation at low levels.
- Triethyl Citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Triclosan
- Antibacterial preservative, EU restricted; known allergen, banned in some regions, compliance check needed.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Imidazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
