- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane
- Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals
