- Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
- Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer
- Acrylate crosspolymer, high-molecular film former and thickener; 0.1-0.5% for gel structure; requires neutralization to activate
- Sodium Magnesium Silicate
- Sodium magnesium silicate as thickener and oil absorber; non-irritating, mind dust safety.
