Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate

Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate

Milder synthetic surfactant with good foam; lower irritation than SLS but still needs buffering; suitable for sensitive cleansers

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate

Mild anionic surfactant, boosts foam/cleaning; low irritancy, common in wash formulations

Glycerin

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

Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer

Silicone copolymer for slip and film; occlusive with smooth texture

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Coco-Glucoside

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba Gum

Guar gum, natural thickener/stabiliser at 0.5–2%; biodegradable, dry film may feel astringent

Polyquaternium-7

Quaternium-80

C12-13 Pareth-3

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

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

Polyquaternium-10

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

Polyquaternium-67

Not decoded yet

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Glycol Distearate

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

Olea Europaea Oil Unsaponifiables

Olive oil unsaponifiables; rich in squalene and vitamin E. Use at 1-2% for repair; stable.

Amodimethicone

Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants

Benzoic Acid

Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.

Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil

Camellia seed oil rich in oleic acid and antioxidants for moisturizing; low allergen risk

Cetrimonium Chloride

Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use

Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil

Crambe abyssinica seed oil for hair/skin; oleic-rich, high oleic ratio may be comedogenic

Hydrogenated Olive Oil

Hydrogenated olive oil for emollience and viscosity; potential comedogenic, caution for oily skin

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil

Sclerocarya birrea seed oil; fatty acid-rich for hair and skin conditioning; requires antioxidants due to unsaturation.

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein Pg-Propyl Silanetriol

Silane-modified polymer for smoothness and wet combing; pair with cationic conditioning agents

Disodium EDTA

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

Sodium Coco-Glucoside Tartrate

Mild surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; low irritancy profile.

Sodium Sulfate

Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract

Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data

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

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
