    Hmmm, hard to say, as all off them are kind of contributing to it. I’d say maybe Cetrimonium Chloride.
    All the ethoxylated lipids after and humectants to follow.

    Thanks, guys!

    At the very tail-end, there are also the following ingredients. First half seems like claims material and chlorides are stabilizers/chelators. Correct?

    HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN ,
    ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN ,
    PHOSPHORIC ACID ,
    CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT ,
    CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA (MATRICARIA) FLOWER ,
    CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS (ORANGE) FRUIT E ,
    HYDROXYPROPYL CYCLODEXTRIN ,
    SODIUM BENZOATE ,
    POTASSIUM SORBATE ,
    PENTYLENE GLYCOL ,
    CALCIUM CHLORIDE ,
    CUPRIC CHLORIDE ,FERRIC CHLORIDE ,MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE ,MANGANESE CHLORIDE ,ZINC CHLORIDE

    @AVisotsky I believe those chlorides are mirerals source (they might be claiming with Copoer, Iron, etc).

    @ketchito thank, man, I actually do not see them using these in claims. Just surprisingly many “chlorides”. Unless they are part of some other combo-chemical product with the main ingredient listed closer to the top. I doubt they were added separately
