- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Corn Starch Modified
- Modified corn starch, absorbent/film former; distinguish food/cosmetic grade, control Aw for stability.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil
- Babassu/baobab seed oil, emollient; high oleic/palmitic, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants, store in dark.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract
- Enantia chlorantha bark; traditional African herb for skin. Very limited data; require supplier safety dossier.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Inulin
- Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch for oil absorption/films/thickening, 2–8%; mildew risk in high humidity, needs preservatives.
- Lysolecithin
- Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- Pyridoxine Hcl
- Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate
- Calcium Pantothenate
- Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Pullulan
- Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Oleanolic Acid
- Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Beta-Sitosterol
- Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
