Ingredients explained
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentration
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Flavor
- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Carrageenan
- Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Red 30
- Synthetic azo dye for coloring; subject to regulatory limits, ensure compliance
- Blue 1
- Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits
