Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamide DEA
- Cocamide DEA foam/emulsion stabilizer; EU restriction III/60 (<1%), potential allergen & dioxane risk.
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products
- Glyceryl Caprate
- Glycerol caprate, mild emollient; improves softness, low sensitivity, often blended with other esters.
- PEG-30
- Not decoded yet
