- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Ethylhexyl Olivate
- Oleate ester emollient; light feel, high comedogenic rating, limit for acne-prone skin.
- Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol Crosspolymer
- Water-soluble powder; anti-caking for antiperspirants/sunscreen, highly hygroscopic
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Menthyl Ethylamido Oxalate
- Menthyl ethylamido oxalate; cooling agent for sensory effect; strict concentration control to avoid strong irritation
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Bacillus Ferment
- Bacillus ferment extract; skin conditioner with peptides; verify sterile specs and endotoxin levels
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Tocopherol
