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.

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Butylene Glycol

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

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.

Glycerin

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

Lauric Acid

Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate

Amino acid surfactant for mild cleansing; fine foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and baby products

Glycol Distearate

Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

PEG-32

Not decoded yet

PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Potassium cocoate

Soap-type anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; watch pH and skin tolerance.

Polyquaternium-7

Not decoded yet

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil

Bergamot essential oil, natural fragrance and photosensitizer; limit daytime use or use FCF grade

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Aromatic essential oil; contains allergens (citronellol, limonene), requires labeling.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Citrus Limon Peel Oil

Lemon peel oil for fragrance/skin conditioning; contains allergens, mind phototoxicity and compliance

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Salvia Officinalis Oil

Sage oil traditionally for tonic use; as essential oil, mind concentration and labeling.

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Pogostemon Cablin Oil

Patchouli oil for fragrance; contains patchoulol, potential irritant/allergen, use cautiously.

Sodium Palmitoyl Proline

Amino acid derivative for mild cleansing and conditioning; also acts as humectant.

Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil

Pine leaf oil, woody scent; contains peroxides and monoterpenes, may irritate sensitive skin, add at low temps and control total load.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil

Sweet orange oil; fragrance/antioxidant, contains furanocoumarins (photosensitizing), use at night or with SPF.

Citrus Grandis Peel Oil

Grapefruit peel oil for fragrance; EU restricted, sensitizing properties, used as fragrance.
