- Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane
- Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals
- Sodium Stearate
- Sodium stearate, soap-based anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; alkaline, caution for sensitive skin
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- PEG-150 Distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; mild comedogenic risk.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Honey
- Humectant/emollient; contains sugars requiring preservation, contraindicated for bee product allergies.
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Manganese Gluconate
- Trace mineral chelator; provides manganese ions, often used as a chelating agent, used at very low concentrations, non-toxic.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Sodium Dextran Sulfate
- Anionic thickener at 0.1-2% for gels; water-soluble, check compatibility with other ionic surfactants
- Hibiscus Sabdariffa Extract/Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract
