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
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Lauryl Glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Hydroxypropyl Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative, conditioner/antistatic; hair/cutaneous use, watch concentration.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Copper Pca
- Copper PCA chelating agent and humectant; added in trace amounts (0.01-0.1%) to stabilize formulation and supply copper ions.
- Maris Sal/Sea Salt/Sel Marin
- Mineral salt blend for hydration; requires heavy metal removal; high concentrations can irritate compromised skin
- Succinic Acid
- Dicarboxylic acid used as a buffer and natural metabolite; slight flavoring effect, low irritation
- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract
- Açaí extract; rich in antioxidants; used for hair/skin, oil-based so needs emulsification.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- Magnesium Aspartate
- Magnesium aspartate; water-soluble chelant/conditioner. Use at 1-2%; check chelation efficiency.
- Acacia Decurrens Flower Extract
- Golden Wattle flower extract; natural scent & conditioner, low sensitization risk.
- Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract
- Rosa centifolia flower extract, astringent and conditioning; limit concentration, cautious for sensitive skin
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Lactobacillus Ferment
- Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Copper Gluconate
- Copper gluconate; trace antioxidant/repair agent. Use <0.05%; high levels cause color change/irritation.
- Rhizobian Gum
- Biofilm former and viscosity agent for hair; biocompatible and mild
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
