- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Cactus Flower Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Algae Extract
- Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Lysine
- Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.
- Glutamic Acid
- Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
- Imperata cylindrica
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
