- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water
- Japanese cypress water used as fragrance/solvent; contains essential oils, sensitivity possible in some.
- Propanediol

- Madecassic Acid
- Madecassoside hydrolysis product for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory action; mild, low typical usage
- Asiaticoside
- Plant glycoside, healing and antioxidant; poor solubility, use low levels with solubilizers.
- Madecassoside
- Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine
- Hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine, bio-mimetic emulsifier; gentle emulsifier and skin conditioner, suitable for liposomal systems.
- Sucrose Stearate
- Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
