- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Hexyl Cinnamal
