- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Hexyl Laurate
- Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides
- Hydrog coco glycerides; waxy emollient; low irrit, low-mid comed, occlusive option
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Dmdm Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Amyl Cinnamal
- Fragrance ingredient restricted in the EU; usage limits apply to minimize allergic contact dermatitis risk.
- Linalool
