Ingredients explained
Each note carries its evidence level: C comes from official inventories (NMPA names, CosIng functions, annex restrictions); E is AI inference nobody has checked yet — treat it as a candidate. How we grade evidence →
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is criticalE · AI inference · to be verified
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliationB · Third-party verified
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.B · Third-party verified
- PEG-12
- Water-soluble PEG at 1–5%; humectant and solvent, low MW PEG has good penetration, some may be sensitive |B · Third-party verified
- Sodium Bicarbonate
- Sodium bicarbonate; buffer and deodorant; alkaline at high pH, potential irritation, control dosageB · Third-party verified
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.E · AI inference · to be verified
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.B · Third-party verified
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydrationC · Official source
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.B · Third-party verified
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentrationC · Official source
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.E · AI inference · to be verified
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostabilityC · Official source
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictionsE · AI inference · to be verified
- Ci 74160
- Aluminium lake of Red 33, insoluble colorant; more stable than water-soluble form; permitted in EUE · AI inference · to be verified
