Formulation view Water-based cleanser using saponified lauric and palmitic acids for surfactancy, buffered with cocamidopropyl betaine for mildness. Includes astragalus extract for conditioning. Suitable for those who prefer foaming cleansers. Factory observation: Uses methylisothiazolinone as preservative, which carries higher sensitization risk; strict usage limits and allergen labeling are essential.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Lauryl Glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Laureth-7 Citrate
- Gentle surfactant for cleansing/emulsification; PEG-derivative, low comedogenicity, suitable for sensitive formulas.
- Steareth-11*
- Not decoded yet
- Magnesium Nitrate
- Inorganic salt for hair conditioning; improves smoothness and shine, high concentrations may stiffen hair, balance cationics.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Ethanol
- Fast-evaporating solvent and enhancer; drying feel, high concentrations require irritation assessment.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Astragalus Sinicus Seed Extract
- Not decoded yet
