Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycerin

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

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate

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

Perlite

Inorganic porous material used as an absorbent and bulking agent; avoid dust inhalation.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Charcoal Powder

Charcoal; adsorbs impurities/oil for cleansers, provides opacity, can be drying or matte.

Citrus Grandis Fruit Extract

Pomelo extract with astringent and skin-conditioning properties; contains phototoxic citrus components, assess risk for daytime use.

Fragaria Vesca Fruit Extract

Strawberry fruit extract; botanical astringent and conditioner, low concentration, offers antioxidant and soothing.

Mangifera Indica Fruit Extract

Moisturizing and antioxidant; rich in VC and polyphenols, gentle and non-irritating

Passiflora Incarnata Fruit Extract

Passion fruit extract; claimed for skin conditioning/protection; botanical extract requiring screening for impurities.

Prunus Armeniaca Fruit Extract

Fruit extract rich in vitamins and enzymes for skin conditioning; prone to discoloration at high pH, add antioxidants

Prunus Persica Fruit Extract

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

Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract

Botanical extract with astringent and skin conditioning properties

Rubus Idaeus Fruit Extract

Raspberry fruit extract with astringent and keratolytic properties; exfoliating, may irritate at high levels

Mandelic Acid

Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Propylene Glycol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

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

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

Gluconate diacetate tetrasodium chelator; replaces EDTA, improves stability against metals

Citric Acid

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

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Parfum

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