- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Stearate
- Gentle emulsifier suitable for sensitive skin; oil-soluble, often paired with others; non-comedogenic
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Polyglyceryl-6 Behenate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for stabilizing O/W systems; gentle.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Parfum *
- Fragrance mixture for scent; may contain multiple allergens, ensure compliance with EU 26 allergen limits.
- Camelina Sativa Seed Oil
- Camelina sativa seed oil; rich in ALA and vitamin E; emollient and antioxidant; may feel greasy due to high fatty acid content.
