- Biosaccharide Gum-1, fermented colloid for hydration and soothing, low comedogenic.
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Amylopectin
- Polysaccharide as binder and viscosity controller; starch-derived, no significant skin irritation
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Chlorphenesin

- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
