Ingredients Explained

Sodium Palmate

Cleansing, Emulsifying, Surfactant

Sodium Palmate is a surfactant and used to saponify fatty acids. It can be derived from palm oil or synthetically created.

As a surfactant, it helps lift dirt and oil off the skin to be cleansed.

Sodium Palmate is also used during the soap-making process to saponify fatty acids. This helps soap creates bubbles without leaving residue on the skin.

This ingredient is sometimes called saponified palm oil.

Sodium Cocoate

Cleansing, Emulsifying, Surfactant

Sodium cocoate is a salt created by saponifying coconut oil. It has cleansing and emulsifying properties.

As a cleansing agent, this ingredient helps reduce the surface tension of dirt, sebum, and other residue in skin and hair. This makes them easier to be rinsed away with water.

Tetrasodium EDTA

Tetrasodium EDTA is the salt formed from neutralizing ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid with sodium hydroxide. It is a chelating agent and used to prevent metal ions from binding to other ingredients. This helps keep the product and ingredients stable.

Tetrasodium EDTA comes as a white solid and is soluble in water.

BHT

Antioxidant, Masking

BHT is a synthetic antioxidant and preservative.

As an antioxidant, it helps your body fight off free-radicals. Free-radicals are molecules that may damage your skin cells.

As a preservative, it is used to stabilize products and prevent them from degrading. Specifically, BHT prevents degradation from oxidation.

The concerns related to BHT come from oral studies; this ingredient is currently allowed for use by both the FDA and EU.

However, it was recently restricted for use in the UK as of April 2024.
