Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- 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
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PEG-4 Rapeseedamide
- Not decoded yet
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Acetum/Vinegar/Vinaigre
- Not decoded yet
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Polyquaternium-55
- Not decoded yet
- Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract
- Moringa seed extract rich in antioxidants for skin conditioning; natural extract, watch batch consistency
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Glycolate
- Gentle buffering salt for adjusting formulation pH; use with soaps within neutral range.
- Dimethylaminopropylamine
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Eugenol
- Potent natural fragrance, EU restriction III/71; listed allergen, max 5%, caution for sensitive skin
