Ingredients explained

Water (Aqua

Solvent and base; pharmaceutical grade recommended for active formulations.

Eau)

Pure water, solvent and diluent; drinking water standard, no known allergens or irritation

Sodium Laureth Sulfate

Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Glycol Stearate

Glycol stearate emulsifier and thickener; improves texture and feel, generally well-tolerated.

DMDM Hydantoin

Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.

Polyquaternium-7

Not decoded yet

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels

Disodium EDTA

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

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning

Butylphenyl Methylpropional

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

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Linalool

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

Amyl Cinnamal

Fragrance ingredient restricted in the EU; usage limits apply to minimize allergic contact dermatitis risk.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Glycerin

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

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Red 4

Synthetic dye for coloration; use within legal limits.

Red 40

Common water-soluble synthetic dye; azo-based, potential sensitizer; check local prohibited colorant lists

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Passiflora Incarnata Flower Extract

Passiflora incarnata flower extract for antioxidant and soothing effects.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Prunus Persica Fruit Extract

Peach fruit extract with fruit acids and fibers; used as mild physical exfoliant and moisturizer

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Biotin

Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.
