Formulation view An oily/acne-prone skin foaming cleanser: potassium-saponified fatty acids buffered by mild sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, with salicylic acid for keratolytic care, bisabolol to soothe, glycerin/propylene glycol as humectants, EDTA and BHT for stability. Formulator note: keeping salicylic acid bioavailable in a high-pH soap base is a real formulation challenge.E · AI inference · to be verified

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 →
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.B · Third-party verified
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.B · Third-party verified
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.B · Third-party verified
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.B · Third-party verified
- Glycerine
- Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.E · AI inference · to be verified
- Lauric Acid
- Lauric acid for cleansing and emulsification; high comedogenic rating, recommend limiting to 1-2% or combining with other acids.B · Third-party verified
- PEG-150
- High MW PEG for hydration and thickening; heavier feel for creams, low sensitization but caution with compromised barriersC · Official source
- PEG-8
- Water-soluble solvent and humectant; dissolves oil-solubles, tacky if overused.B · Third-party verified
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponificationC · Official source
