Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- 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
- PEG-12
- Not decoded yet
- Pentasodium Triphosphate
- Water-soluble chelator and pH adjuster; softens hard water and stabilizes formulation, mild irritation at high conc.
- Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate
- Anticaking/chelating agent for oral care; water-soluble, check compatibility with cationic surfactants.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentration
- Carrageenan
- Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
