- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- PEG-6 Stearate
- Nonionic emulsifier; may cloud at low temp; match HLB; avoid cationic surfactants.
- PEG-32 Stearate
- Not decoded yet
- 1,2 Hexanediol
- Humectant and preservative booster. Low irritancy, generally well-tolerated.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside
- Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.
- C14-22 Alcohols
- Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Fragrance

- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
