- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Aspalathus Linearis Leaf Extract
- Rooibos leaf extract rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, used for antioxidant conditioning
- Galactoarabinan
- Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.
- Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil
- Babassu/baobab seed oil, emollient; high oleic/palmitic, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants, store in dark.
- Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil
- Baobab seed oil; highly saturated fat oil. Emollient and nourishing, rich feel, prone to frosting.
- Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil
- Passionflower seed oil; emollient; prone to oxidation, needs protection.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Oryza Sativa Bran Oil
- Rice bran oil rich in oryzanol and linoleic acid for conditioning; moderate comedogenic rating, mind oxidative stability.
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil
- Euterpe oleifera fruit oil; rich in oleic and palmitic acids for conditioning
