Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Sodium Myreth Sulfate
- Sodium Myreth Sulfate, mild surfactant; good foam, less irritating than SLS.
- Sodium Laureth-12 Sulfate
- Anionic sulfate surfactant for cleansing/foaming; strong foamer but can be stripping; lower concentration or blend for sensitive skin.
- Sodium Cocoamphoacetate
- Mild amphoteric surfactant at 0.5–5%; low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin, often paired with anionics.
- PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
- PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Anise Alcohol
- Anethole, one of EU 26 allergens, max 0.5% anhydrous; used in trace for anise-like fixative effect.
- Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde
- Prohibited in EU cosmetics; restricted due to irritation risks.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
