Coco-Glucoside
A mild cleansing and foaming agent derived from coconut oil and sugar. Helps create a soft, silky lather and improves product spreadability.
Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
An amino-acid-based surfactant known for being exceptionally gentle. It cleans

EMULSIFIER
A peace-maker.
Helps oil and water mix together in a silky, stable formula. Without
emulsifiers, your conditioner would separate like a badly shaken salad
dressing.
SURFACTANT
Your gentle bubble-maker.
Short for “surface-active agent,” surfactants create lather, lift away oil and dirt, and help water rinse everything off smoothly.
(Drip & Dew uses plant-derived surfactants like Lauryl Glucoside and
Coco-Glucoside — not harsh ones.)
SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)
A foaming agent we DON’T use.
SLS is strong and can be stripping. Drip & Dew formulas avoid it completely
and use cleaner coconut-based alternatives like Sodium Coco-Sulfate.
Good foam, zero drama.
Amino Acid Surfactant
The softest of the soft.
Cleansing agents made from amino acids (like Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate).
Naturally gentle and barrier-friendly.
Humectant
A hydration magnet.
Draws water into the skin or hair. Examples in your formulas: Glycerin,
Sodium PCA, Honey Sugars.
Emollient
A skin-softener.
Smooths texture and reduces roughness. Examples: Argan oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, glyceryl oleate.
Preservative
Your product’s bodyguard.
Prevents microbial growth so products remain safe. Drip & Dew uses clean,
gentle ones like Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate — no parabens, no harsh systems.
Antioxidant
Your skin’s shield.
Protects skin from environmental stressors. Examples in your formulas: Plum Extract, Rosemary.
pH Adjuster
The formula balancer.
Ingredients like Citric Acid help products match the natural pH of skin or hair so they feel comfortable and work properly.
Essential Oil
Nature’s fragrance.
Concentrated plant extracts that bring scent and added benefits — like
peppermint, rosemary, almond, or citrus oils. (These naturally contain
Limonene, Linalool, etc.)
INCI
The official ingredients list.
Stands for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients. It’s the
universal language every formula must use — so ingredients look “sciency” even when they're supernatural.
