Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

PEG/PPG-18/18 dimethicone

PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

PEG-12 Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.

Resveratrol

Potent polyphenol antioxidant <1%; light-sensitive, needs antioxidants/chelators

Quercetin

Flavonoid antioxidant; low water solubility, use in conjugate form, light sensitive.

Epigallocatechin Gallate

Potent water-soluble polyphenol antioxidant <1%; may affect color stability

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Lauroyl lysine

Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Trihydroxystearin

Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning

Salix Alba Bark Extract

Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.

Punica Granatum Extract

Pomegranate extract containing polyphenols; offers antioxidant and skin-protecting properties, often used in brightening formulas.

Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract

Haematococcus pluvialis extract rich in astaxanthin; potent antioxidant; used in anti-aging and photoprotection formulas.

Hydrolyzed corn starch

Hygroscopic starch for humidity control/filming; needs preservative, low comedogenicity.

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Hydrated silica

Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

C12-15 alkyl benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Isopropyl titanium triisostearate

Titanium isostearate complex for UVB absorption and emulsification aid; photostable, low irritancy, low comedogenicity.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Sodium chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
