Formulation view An exfoliating body treatment combining gluconolactone, ammonium lactate, and salicylic acid for keratolytic action, buffered by petrolatum and silicones for a smooth finish. Enriched with panthenol and citrus extracts for soothing. Ideal for rough skin areas. A formulator notes the strategic pairing of chemical exfoliants with heavy occlusives aims to soften scales while preventing dehydration; sensitive areas require caution.

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Hydroxyethyl Urea

Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter Extract

Shea butter extract for conditioning and moisture; extraction may leave trace impurities, comedogenicity follows base oil rating of 2.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Ammonium Lactate

Buffering, humectant, and keratolytic agent; pH adjustor, dosage based on buffering needs.

Petrolatum

Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Steareth-21

Not decoded yet

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter

Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6

Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7

PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate

PPG-3 benzyl ether myristate, emollient emulsifier; contains PEG-like structure, low viscosity solvent, check ionic compatibility.

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract

Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Saccharum Officinarum Extract

Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid

Panthenol

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

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate/Succinate

Not decoded yet

Stearamidopropyl Pg-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate

Not decoded yet

Phenoxyethanol

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

Propylene Glycol

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

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
