Science - Cosmetics, Beauty / All of the terms come from a cosmetic catalogue
Spanish term or phrase: hidrófila; las mucosas; biocalia
"hidrófila" is one of the ingredients of a children's shampoo

"las mucosas" comes from the following sentence in Spanish "Evitar el contacto del gel en el rostro y en las mucosas". I thought "mucosas" might refer to the eyes, but I'm not completely sure.

"Biocalia" is an ingredient in an gel for the sensitive and private parts of the body. In parentheses after biocalia it says in Spanish "Glucose Oligosaccharide". I wasn't sure if Biocalia was a commercial name.

Explanation:
hidrófila- hydrophylic -water soluble
las mucosas- meaning eyes nose or mouth because it will irritate if it goes in any of these.

I am not quite sure of the biocalia term. Ana Julia is right. you should do one term at a time...
