- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin

- Shea Butter Ethyl Esters
- Shea-derived esters for smooth emolliency; more stable than raw shea butter.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Polyglyceryl-6 Caprylate/Caprate
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Acacia Senegal Gum
- Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens
- Oryza Sativa Extract
- Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin
- Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate
- Amino-acid based surfactant; gentle cleansing, emulsification and antimicrobial action
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Potassium Sorbate

- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
