500ml 3 in 1 Shower Gel

Aqua (Water)
Aqua is the primary base in most personal care products. It dissolves and carries other ingredients, helping them blend evenly for smooth application. Water ensures your shower gel has the right texture and consistency. It’s 100% safe, as it’s purified before use. Aqua enhances skin hydration by helping moisturizing ingredients do their job more effectively. Fun fact - even though it’s listed first, it doesn’t mean it’s just “filler”—it plays a vital role in every rinse-off product!

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES)
SLES is a gentle cleansing agent derived from coconut or palm oil. It breaks down oil and dirt and produces a rich foam. It’s widely used and considered safe in rinse-off products, especially in regulated concentrations. SLES helps your 3-in-1 gel work effectively on both skin and hair. It gives a satisfying lather and clean rinse feel. Common type - Sodium Laureth Sulfate. Note - it’s milder than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Fun fact - SLES is found in everything from bubble baths to toothpaste.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine
Derived from coconut oil, Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a mild surfactant that softens and boosts foam. It’s used to reduce irritation from stronger cleansers like SLES. It’s safe and often found in baby washes due to its gentle profile. This ingredient makes the product feel silkier and more luxurious. Commonly used alongside SLES for balance. Fun fact - It also acts as an antistatic agent in shampoos, helping hair feel smoother after rinsing.

Coconut Diethanolamide (Cocamide DEA)
Coconut Diethanolamide thickens the product and enhances foam, giving a creamier feel. It’s made from coconut oil and diethanolamine. It helps emulsify oils and water for a stable gel. While generally safe in rinse-off products, regulated versions are used to avoid impurities. This ingredient adds texture and richness to the formula. Types include Cocamide DEA or Cocamide MEA. Note - Modern formulations ensure compliance with global safety standards. Fun fact - It helps the gel stay thick even under warm shower conditions.

Sodium Chloride (Salt)
Sodium Chloride, or table salt, is added to adjust the thickness of the gel and improve its feel. It helps control how runny or thick your product is. It’s completely safe and natural, used in small, skin-friendly amounts. Though it sounds drying, it has minimal effect in rinse-off products. Type-natural Sea salt or processed sodium chloride. Fun fact - Even luxury formulations use salt to fine-tune the texture.

Preservatives
Preservatives stop bacteria, mold, and yeast from growing in your shower gel. They keep the product safe, especially in humid bathrooms. Examples include Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, and Sodium Benzoate. All are used in approved, safe concentrations. These ensure your gel remains fresh from first use to last. Types can be synthetic or naturally derived. Note - preservative-free products spoil quickly. Fun fact - Water-based products without preservatives can become contaminated in just days!

Perfume (Fragrance)
Perfume adds a pleasant scent to elevate the user experience. It masks raw ingredient smells and helps make your shower feel refreshing or calming. Safe when used in regulated quantities, though sensitive users may prefer fragrance-free options. Fragrance types vary citrus, floral, woody, etc. Common examples are blends of natural essential oils and synthetics. Skin feels - scent can enhance a feeling of cleanliness or relaxation. Fun fact - Scent is the most remembered aspect of a product experience!

Colourant (Color Additive)
Colourants give the gel its vibrant look, making it visually appealing. They help match the scent (like green for minty) and build brand identity. Cosmetic colorants are safe when approved for use and added in low concentrations. Types include synthetic dyes (like CI 42090) and natural pigments (like mica). Skin feels - none directly but contributes to the overall sensory experience. Note - clear formulas may skip this. Fun fact - People subconsciously trust brightly colored personal care products more!
