- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- 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
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Maltodextrin/Vp Copolymer
- Maltodextrin/VP copolymer, film-forming thickener; transparent film, moderate humectancy
- Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
- Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Ol
- Not decoded yet
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Cocos Nucifera
- Coconut source (oil/aqua) rich in saturated fats; high comedogenicity, oily skin caution.
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Trichilia Emetica Seed Butter
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Honey
- Humectant/emollient; contains sugars requiring preservation, contraindicated for bee product allergies.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Glyceryl Undecylenate
- Light ester emollient with silk-like, spreadable feel; common carrier for UV filters, good silicone compatibility
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil
- Babassu/baobab seed oil, emollient; high oleic/palmitic, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants, store in dark.
- Ficus Carica Extract
- Not decoded yet
