Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Sodium Laureth-8 Sulfate
- Standard anionic surfactant, strong cleansing, high foam; can dry skin with repeated use, blend with nonionic/amphoteric to lower irritation.
- Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose thickener; foaming risk, often paired with polyols.
- Oleth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Magnesium Laureth Sulfate
- Magnesium salt surfactant, stronger cleansing than sodium salts, good for hard-water areas; may feel stripping, pair with conditioners.
- Magnesium Laureth-8 Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Oleth Sulfate
- Mild anionic surfactant for shampoos/body washes; rich foam, less irritating than LAS; caution for sensitive skin.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Magnesium Oleth Sulfate
- Magnesium salt mild anionic surfactant, moderate cleansing, fine foam; magnesium ions may reduce performance in hard water.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Butylparaben
- Butylparaben preservative; low concentrations; potential endocrine concerns, regulatory limits apply.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Magnesium Nitrate
- Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract
- Myrrh resin extract, anti-inflammatory/soothing; natural impurities, verify allergenicity and stability
- Arctium Lappa Root Extract
- Burdock root extract for skin conditioning; watch for raw material impurities.
- Plantago Major Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Malva-Sylvestris-Flower-Leaf-Stem-Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Cucumis Sativus Cucumber) Fruit Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
