- Cocamide MEA
- Foam booster and thickener for cleansing products; 1-3%, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Polyquaternium-10
- Cationic polymer for fabric or hair smoothness; generally low irritation but may conflict with other cationic actives
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Dmdm Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
- Hydrolyzed Silk
- Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional

- Borage Seed Oil
- Borage Seed Oil; rich in GLA for barrier support and sebum regulation, highly refined grades preferred.
- Linalool
