- Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches
- Chamomilla Recutita Extract
- Chamomile, classic soothing/anti-inflammatory; potential allergen for some, contains flavonoids.
- Ppg-5-Ceteth-10 Phosphate
- Non-ionic/amphoteric surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; PEG/PPG structure, monitor phosphate form stability.
- Mineral Oil / Huile Minerale
- Not decoded yet
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil
- Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

- Sodium Methylparaben
- Sodium Methylparaben preservative; restrict concentration, EU recommends V/12 limit, avoid in pregnancy
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Tetrasodium Edta
