- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Cocamidopropylamine Oxide
- Cationic/Amphoteric surfactant, foaming/conditioning; allergenic at high levels, blends with anions.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- C13-15 Alkane
- Mineral oil derivative as solvent and spreader; low irritation and allergen, ensure high purity free of carcinogens
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Lauryl Lactyl Lactate
- Mild thickener/foam booster, coconut lactic ester; low irritation, good for cleansing/foam.
- Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride
- Cationic guar derivative for antistatic, film-forming, viscosity control; common in hair/skin conditioning
- Tocopherol

- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
- Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
