Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- PEG-32
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-6
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Maltitol
- Sugar alcohol humectant and emollient; tacky at high levels, limit load.
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- Sodium Lauroamphoacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for gentle cleansing; rich foam, low irritation to eyes and skin.
- Avene Thermal Spring Water
- Avene Thermal Spring Water; contains trace minerals and silica; used as a solvent or aqueous base with soothing properties.
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hydrolyzed Conchiolin Protein
- Hydrolyzed pearl protein for hydration/repair; animal-derived; low MW aids penetration, low sensitization
- PEG-90M
- Polyethylene glycol-based emulsifier and thickener at 0.1–0.5%; highly hydrophilic, may contain trace PEG impurities, caution for sensitive skin
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Undaria Pinnatifida Extract
- Kelp extract; algal polysaccharides. Hydrating and film-forming, verify compatibility in high-salt formulas.
