- PEG-modified silicone with emulsifying and conditioning properties; ensure low dioxane levels in finished goods.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Water-soluble crosspolymer for thickening; 0.1–0.5%, expands in alkaline pH, non-comedogenic.
- Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer
- Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc
- Hexyl Laurate
- Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability
- Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate
- Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas
- Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol
- Ergothioneine analog antioxidant; stabilizes formula, protect from light.
- Inulin
- Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization
- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract
- Tomato extract; antioxidant and conditioner. Contains carotenoids; moderate photostability. Watch for color variance.
- Superoxide Dismutase
- Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.
- Xanthophyll
- Carotenoid pigment for coloring; light-sensitive, store protected from light, may discolor at high levels
- Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract
- Bark extract used as an antioxidant; ensure consistent raw material sourcing.
- Polygonum Aviculare Extract
- Botanical extract used as an emollient. No public irritancy or comedogenic data; monitor for botanical variability.
- Alteromonas Ferment Extract
- Ferment filtrate with peptides/polysaccharides; skin conditioning, 1–3% typical; check preservative system.
- Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Valine
- Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Isoleucine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.
- Histidine
- Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.
- Phenylalanine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data
- Aspartic Acid
- Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH
- Pca
- Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Melanin
- Melanin as pigment or UV absorber; natural colorant, shade depends on purity, used in dark concealers.

- Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate
- Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
