- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Nylon-12
- Not decoded yet
- Polyethylene Terephthalate
- Polyester microcrystals for film forming; strict particle size control, EU ban in rinsing-off fluids/lotions
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Magnesium Stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Octyldodecanol
