- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil*
- Olive oil, base emollient; contains palmitic/stearic, high doses may clog sensitive skin
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
