- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Isononanoate
- Blended ester emollient offering extensibility and lightness; non-comedogenic, good for oily to combo skin
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Tridecane
- Tridecane, a long-chain alkane acting as emollient and solvent; petrochemical-derived, inert and low toxicity.
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer for viscosity control; inert polymer with no known irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Dipsacus Sylvestris Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Silybum Marianum Seed Oil
- Milk thistle seed oil; silymarin-rich, antioxidant, high oil load, prone to oxidation
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Escin
- Horse chestnut extract for venous circulation and anti-inflammatory; caution near eyes; potential plant-based allergen
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract
- Quinoa seed extract, protein/polypeptide conditioner; water-soluble, check charge interactions with actives.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Avena Sativa Kernel Extract
- Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer
