Formulation view Despite the sun protection label, the INCI indicates a hair care formula. SLES is the primary surfactant, combined with amphoteric surfactants for better foam. Hydrolyzed wheat protein and panthenol are added to strengthen hair and hydrate. Titanium dioxide provides physical coverage. Preservation uses MIT/CIT. Suitable for normal hair cleansing; strong surfactants require caution for sensitive scalps. Do not use on facial skin; primary function is cleansing.

Ingredients explained
- 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.
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Tea-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate
- Potent anionic surfactant with strong cleansing power; highly irritating and sensitize risk, requires strict usage limits and buffering.
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Cocamide MEA
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Climbazole
- Antifungal preservative at 0.05–0.1%; irritating to skin/mucosa, avoid eye area and broken skin.
- Perfume
- Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein
- Hydrolyzed protein for hair and skin conditioning; potential allergen, use low levels in sensitive products
- Yogurt Powder
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Lysine Hydrochloride
- Not decoded yet
- Dmdm Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Preservative (MCI); highly sensitizing, use only in rinse-off, avoid leave-on products.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Ci 17200
- Acid Red 33 hair dye; restricted use, potential scalp irritation
