Formulation view A mild dual-APG surfactant base (decyl and coco glucoside) over glycerin, thickened with dehydroxanthan gum. Sodium levulinate/anisate provide a nature-leaning preservation system with phytic acid chelation; saffron, neem, calendula and honey shape the botanical profile. Gentle for daily cleansing, though natural fragrant oils like jasmine carry allergen load for very reactive skin.
