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

Glycerin

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

Sorbitol

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

Lauryl Hydroxysultaine

Mild amphoteric surfactant; easy to rinse, low sensitization risk. Often used in shampoos and sensitive skin cleansers

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Fragrance/Parfum

Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate

Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Polyquaternium-10

Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether

Caprylyl ether solvent, foam booster; PEG derivative, note skin penetration

Di-C12-13 Alkyl Malate

Esther emollient to improve texture and gloss; low concentration, low comedogenic risk, no specific compatibility issues.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sodium Salicylate

Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Xylitylglucoside

Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Anhydroxylitol

Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.

Xylitol

Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.

Camellia Japonica Leaf Extract

Camellia leaf extract providing skin conditioning and antioxidant support; gentle with no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Glucose

Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.

Camellia Japonica Flower Extract

Camellia extract for skin emollience; typically a minor conditioning ingredient.

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil

Light emollient oil with refined feel; low comedogenic, suitable for most skin.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Glycolipids

Cell membrane lipids mimicking skin barrier structure; used in repair formulations and biomimetic membranes
