Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Bis-Glyceryl Ascorbate*

Ascorbate ester; stable Vitamin C derivative with antioxidant and brightening effects; superior pH stability, oil-soluble.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate*

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative; stable and mild antioxidant/whitening agent, compatible with oil systems, no pH constraint.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Coconut Alkanes

Coconut alkanes as solvents/emollients with medium volatility; check oxidation stability.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Myrciaria Dubia Fruit Extract†

Acai berry extract; rich in anthocyanins and vitamins, used for antioxidants and skin conditioning; stability depends on extraction.

Curcumin

Potent antioxidant & strong yellow colorant; unstable/oxidizes, low usage (<0.1%), keep from light
