Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Coco-Caprylate

Coconut/caprylate ester for light emollient finish; balance with humectants.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Carthamus Tinctorius Oleosomes

Safflower oleosomes; plant-based emollient and stabilizer with fine particle size.

Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil

Inca Inchi oil; Omega-9 rich emollient. Use <5%; pair with antioxidants to prevent oxidation.

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract

Green bean seed extract for hair and skin conditioning; rich in saponins/proteins; typically used at 0.1-1%

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder

Aloe extract powder for soothing/moisturizing; low solubility, needs dispersion

Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil

Camellia seed oil rich in oleic acid and antioxidants for moisturizing; low allergen risk

Cucurbita Pepo Seed Oil

Pumpkin seed oil, rich in linoleic acid and tocopherols; emollient; 1-5%, high oleic systems may be comedogenic, good tolerance

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Nigella Sativa Seed Oil

Rich in oleic and linolenic acids; emollient and conditioning, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants.

Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil

Chia seed extract rich in omega-3/6; moisturizes and conditions skin, monitor oxidation stability.

Vaccinium Macrocarpon Seed Oil

Blueberry seed oil rich in GLA; supports skin barrier repair; moderate comedogenic risk, patch test recommended.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.

Borago Officinalis Seed Oil

Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) rich oil; excellent for repair but prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants

Rosehip oil, rich in oleic/linoleic acids for emolliency/repair; prone to oxidation, needs protection

Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil

Raspberry seed oil; linoleic acid-rich emollient; oxidation-prone, requires antioxidants and light protection

Solanum Lycopersicum Seed Oil

Tomato seed oil rich in lycopene and vitamin E; antioxidant and moisturizing repair for anti-aging and hand care formulas

Vaccinium Corymbosum Seed Oil

Blueberry seed oil; antioxidant and emollient. Plant oil with potential comedogenicity, use cautiously on sensitive skin.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Gluconolactone

Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Mild amino-acid surfactant, poor solubility, pairs with fatty alcohols, fine foam.
