Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil

Camellia seed oil; rich in vitamin E/oleic acid, emollient/antioxidant, light texture.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Calcium Pantothenate

Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners

Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate

Modified starch for oil absorption/films/thickening, 2–8%; mildew risk in high humidity, needs preservatives.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Maltodextrin

High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Butylene Glycol

Pyridoxine Hcl

Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
