Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate
- Mild anionic surfactant at 0.5–10%; fine foam, lower irritation than soaps, suitable for gentle cleansing.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Sodium chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Methyl Isethionate
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Stearyl citrate
- Stearoyl citrate ester; mild emollient, non-ionic, suits dry skin.
- Lauryl glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Zinc laurate
- Zinc salt for oil control and texture; used in powders/creams to reduce shine and improve feel.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract
- Roselle flower extract rich in anthocyanins, used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support
- Dipropylene glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
