Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Glyceryl Polyacrylate

Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
