- Sorbitan Laurate
- O/W emulsifier; low-comedogenic ester, verify emulsion stability.
- C18-36 Acid Glycol Ester
- Long-chain fatty acid polyglycol ester; mild thickener and emulsifier without soap feel, suitable for sensitive formulas.
- C18-36 Acid Triglyceride
- C18-36 acid triglyceride, non-mineral oil emollient and solvent, light feel; low comedogenicity.
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 boosts collagen; use 0.1–1%, formulate with lipid carriers
- Diheptyl Succinate
- Light emollient ester; refreshing non-greasy feel, often replaces heavier mineral oils.
- Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer
- Film-forming conditioner for hair/skin protection; hydrophobic, pair with water phase

- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Phenoxyethanol
