Formulation view Foaming cleanser with a core system of SLES blended with mild amino and non-ionic surfactants to reduce irritation. Salicylic acid and lactic acid are added for exfoliation and oil control, buffered by botanical extracts. Preserved by 1,2-hexanediol and ethylhexylglycerine. Suitable for oily and combination skin. Formulator observation: The surfactant balance maintains cleansability while mitigating harshness; salicylic acid concentration must be controlled to prevent over-drying; the essential oil-based fragrance may pose irritation risks for sensitive skin, suggesting PM use with follow-up h

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation

Cocamide Methyl Mea

Mild amphoteric surfactant; stable foam, gentle cleansing.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate

Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate

Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.

Coco-Betaine

Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Polyquaternium-10

Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Agastache Rugosa Extract
