Ingredients Details
Coco-glucoside
Common Name(s): Coconut glucoside,apg c8-c16
CAS Number: 68515-73-1
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides gentle, natural-origin cleansing with good foam from mixed coconut chain alkyl glucosides.
Why It's Used: Widely used natural surfactant for green beauty formulations requiring good foam performance with natural-origin and mild credentials.
How It Works: Mixed c8-c16 fatty alcohol chain lengths from coconut provide broader foam stability than single-chain glucosides. non-ionic glucoside headgroup provides mildness. better detergency and rinsing than individual chain-length apgs due to mixed chain distribution.
Typically Found In: Natural shampoos,body washes,facial cleansers
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ coconut alkyl glucoside
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ20%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from coconut fatty alcohols and glucose
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Coco-glucoside's natural chain length distribution (c8-c16) provides synergistic surfactant effects where different chain lengths optimize different properties: shorter chains provide initial foam burst, longer chains provide foam stability and soil removal, creating better overall performance than any single chain length alone.

Phenoxyethanol
Common Name(s): 2-phenoxyethanol,rose ether,ethylene glycol monophenyl ether
CAS Number: 122-99-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Prevents microbial contamination and spoilage in cosmetic formulations.
Why It's Used: The benchmark cosmetic preservative โ eu-permitted up to 1%, effective against virtually all cosmetically relevant microorganisms, and excellent tolerability.
How It Works: Phenol ring provides broad antimicrobial activity via disruption of bacterial and fungal cell membranes and inhibition of enzymatic activity. effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts (candida), and molds (aspergillus). activity ph range: 3-9.
Typically Found In: All cosmetic formulations as primary preservative
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ broad-spectrum preservative
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ1% (eu max 1%)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu cosmetics regulation max 1%. sccs assessed as safe at โค1%. avoid use around eyes in baby products per some country regulations. ewg score: 4.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phenoxyethanol's widespread adoption as the primary cosmetic preservative followed the phaseout of parabens from many formulations in the 2000s-2010s. despite having a comparable or better safety profile to parabens, it is often cited in 'free-from' formulations โ a consumer perception issue rather than a scientific safety concern.

Polyquaternium-7
Common Name(s): Polyquaternium-7,cationic conditioning polymer,substantive film-former
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Deposits a conditioning film on hair and skin through electrostatic attraction to negative cuticle/corneocyte surfaces, reduces hair-on-hair friction for improved combability and detangling, eliminates static charge buildup, and provides anti-frizz humidity resistance.
Why It's Used: Cationic polymers are the primary hair conditioning technology โ the permanent positive quaternary ammonium groups provide substantive deposition that resists rinsing, delivering persistent conditioning between washes unlike small-molecule cationic conditioners.
How It Works: At shampoo/conditioner ph 4.5โ5.5, hair cuticle carries net negative charge (isoelectric point ph ~3.5). polyquaternium cations undergo electrostatic attraction depositing on the cuticle surface. during rinsing, the deposited polymer film persists from reduced surface-solution equilibrium at low bulk concentration โ substantive deposition from favourable interfacial versus bulk partitioning.
Typically Found In: Shampoos,conditioners,leave-in products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ cosmetic active
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Different polyquaternium numbers indicate different backbone chemistries: pq-7 (acrylamide/quaternary acrylate copolymer) for leave-on flexibility; pq-10 (hydroxyethylcellulose/quaternary ammonium) for substantive deposition; pq-11 (vp/dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) for styling fixation.
