- Coco-Betaine
- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- Laureth-5 Carboxylic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Cocamide MIPA
- Cocamide MIPA; mild surfactant for foam boosting and viscosity; potential sensitizer at high concentrations
- Amodimethicone
- Amino silicone for hair conditioning/antistatic; cationic, conflicts with anionic surfactants
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- PPG-5-Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Benzophenone-4
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-55
