Ingredients explained
- Aqua (Water
- Not decoded yet
- Eau)
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- PEG-12 Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
- Cocamide MEA
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Laureth-4
- Not decoded yet
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Acid Violet 43
- Not decoded yet
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Hydrolyzed Silk
- Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Amodimethicone/Morpholinomethyl Silsesquioxane Copolymer
- Silicone polymer for slip and film; high levels may reduce breathability, cleanse regularly
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Steardimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Trideceth-5
- Not decoded yet
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Methyl Benzoate
- Ester solvent and preservative booster with fragrance; mild irritant, respect limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
