- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Amp-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer AMP salt for film formation and fixing; control neutralization to avoid residual monomers.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
