- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Cocamide MEA
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- 2-Oleamido-1,3-Octadecanediol
- Lipid-based emollient for barrier repair; lipophilic.
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Cetrimonium Chloride
- Cationic surfactant/preservative for conditioning; irritating at high levels, restricted use
