- Arbutin
- Tyrosinase inhibitor for whitening; typical use 1-2%, comply with EU restrictions on specific arbutins.
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
- Mild anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsification; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Olive Oil PEG-7 Esters
- Olive oil PEG-7 esters, gentle emulsifier and emollient containing PEG structure; suitable for creams, monitor PEG allergens and contamination.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Sodium PEG-7 Olive Oil Carboxylate

- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
