- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Thymol
- Phenolic antimicrobial and fragrance; irritating at high levels, use trace amounts, allergen risk.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
- Alpinia katsumadai Seed Extract
- Tsaoko seed extract for skin care; no public data on irritation
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
