Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- 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.
- PPG-2 Hydroxyethyl Coco/Isostearamide
- PPG-2 hydroxyethyl coco/isostearamide; anionic surfactant for cleansing; note PEG-related considerations.
- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil
- Kukui nut oil rich in oleic and linoleic acids; provides moisture and conditioning, no clear comedogenic data.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Laureth-4
- Not decoded yet
- Laureth-23
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-12 Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
- PEG-23M
- PEG-based emulsifier and thickener; water-soluble, consider permeation and residual levels for sensitive skin.
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.
- 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
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Diazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users
- Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Yellow 5
- Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
- Yellow 6
- Synthetic water-soluble dye; potential allergen, use with care in sensitive skin, often needs stabilizers.
