- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Methyl Gluceth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium Lauriminodipropionate Tocopheryl Phosphates
- Gentle two-phase/ionic cleanser & conditioner, vitamin E phosphate; mild but needs compatibility testing
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

- Oenothera Biennis Oil
- Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Polyacrylate-13
- Not decoded yet
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
