Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Propanediol

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

Glycerin

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

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment

Ferment extract rich in polyphenols; acts as skin conditioning agent with antioxidant potential

Zeolite

Mineral absorbent for oil control and odor; anti-caking agent; 1-5% typical in dry forms

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Polysorbate 80

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

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

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.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Boswellia Serrata Resin Extract

Boswellia serrata resin extract for smoothing and toning; resin allergenic risk, caution in sensitive skin

Glycine Max Seed Extract

Soybean extract for hair and skin conditioning and protection; contains plant proteins.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin
