Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Glycerin

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

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Purified Water

Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Diphenyl Dimethicone

Silicone for emollience and antistatic; used in hair and skin care, check compatibility with other silicones

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Tricholoma Matsutake Extract

Matsutake extract with amino acids and polysaccharides for hydration and antioxidant care. Add in aqueous phase; watch heat sterilization impact on heat-sensitive polysaccharides.

Fragaria Vesca Leaf Extract

Wild strawberry leaf extract; astringent and conditioning, rich in polyphenols for oil control or toners.

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
