Methyl Gluceth-20

Not decoded yet

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Lactobacillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues

Lactobacillus/Punica Granatum Fruit Ferment Extract

Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.

Ppg-26-Buteth-26

Not decoded yet

Acrylates/Vinyl Isodecanoate Crosspolymer

Acrylate crosspolymer, high-molecular film former and thickener; 0.1-0.5% for gel structure; requires neutralization to activate

Hydrolyzed Corn Starch

Hygroscopic starch for humidity control/filming; needs preservative, low comedogenicity.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
