- Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil
- Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.
- Oenothera Biennis Oil
- Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Caprylic-Capric-Triglyceride
- Light emollient enhancing feel; low occlusivity. Emulsifiable, prone to oxidation, store in dark.
- Cyclomethicone
- Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient with cleansing function; suitable for baby and sensitive skin, low irritancy.
- Triisostearin
- Polyglyceryl ester, emulsifier and thickener; no mineral oil, check viscosity.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glyceryl Stearate

- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- BHT
