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 →
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusivesC · Official source
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growthE · AI inference · to be verified
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliationB · Third-party verified
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.B · Third-party verified
- Flavour
- Generic flavour blend; non-specific mixture. Check full ingredient list for specific allergens or compliance issues.E · AI inference · to be verified
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.B · Third-party verified
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.C · Official source
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.B · Third-party verified
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.B · Third-party verified
- Zinc Citrate
- Zinc citrate; antimicrobial in oral care; restricted ingredient, verify compliance; safe at low levelsB · Third-party verified
- Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate
- Anticaking/chelating agent for oral care; water-soluble, check compatibility with cationic surfactants.B · Third-party verified
- 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
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydrationC · Official source
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.B · Third-party verified
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentrationC · Official source
- CI 73360
- Lake red pigment for coloration; inert, non-irritating, used within concentration limitsE · 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
