- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Polyquaternium-11
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate
- Gentle emulsifier for O/W systems; refreshing feel, good biodegradability
- Althaea Officinalis Root Extract
- Marshmallow root extract rich in polysaccharides; forms a protective film for moisturizing and soothing skin conditioning.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Biotin
- Vitamin B7 nutrient claimant; topical effect limited, use at 1-20 ppm.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Fatty Acids
- Fatty acid mixture; emulsifier oil phase, conditioner, or neutralizer; specify composition to avoid allergens.
- Cocamidopropyl Dimethylamine
- Cationic conditioner and emulsifier at 1–3%; high static attraction, pair with quat agents, caution for sensitive skin
- Sodium Glycolate
- Gentle buffering salt for adjusting formulation pH; use with soaps within neutral range.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- Amyl Cinnamal
- Fragrance ingredient restricted in the EU; usage limits apply to minimize allergic contact dermatitis risk.
- Hydroxycitronellal
- Hydroxycitronellal, sensitizing fragrance, EU limit <0.1%; avoid use as aerosol propellant.
