Formulation view Gentle cleansing liquid with glycerin and water base. Combines fatty acids like lauric and myristic acid with mild surfactants such as lauryl hydroxysultaine. Hydroxyethylcellulose thickens, while EDTA stabilizes. Phenoxylethanol preservatives and alcohol aid volatility. Polyols reduce tightness after washing. Suitable for mixed to oily skin. Factory observation notes a strategy of combining soap base with mild surfactants to balance cleansing power and gentleness, using high glycerin to lower irritation.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 →

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
Laureth-6 Carboxylic Acid
Mild amphoteric/anionic surfactant for cleansing. Low irritation, tear-free. May cause minor scalp sensitivity.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
Lauryl Hydroxysultaine
Mild amphoteric surfactant; easy to rinse, low sensitization risk. Often used in shampoos and sensitive skin cleansersB · Third-party verified
Potassium Hydroxide
Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.B · Third-party verified
Decyl Glucoside
Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.B · Third-party verified
Myristic Acid
Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.B · Third-party verified
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritationB · Third-party verified
Hydroxyethylcellulose
Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.B · Third-party verified
Fragrance
Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific componentsC · Official source
Palmitic Acid
Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.B · Third-party verified
Phenoxyethanol
Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerinC · Official source
Disodium EDTA
Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacyC · Official source
Alcohol
Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.E · AI inference · to be verified
PEG-65M
High-molecular-weight PEG thickener/emulsifier. Non-ionic, low irritation. Watch PEG penetration on compromised skin.B · Third-party verified
Trisodium EDTA
Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.B · Third-party verified
Sodium Hydroxide
Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme careB · Third-party verified
BHT
Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.B · Third-party verified
