- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- Inulin
- Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Sodium Pyruvate
- Not decoded yet
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Polyquaternium-7
- Not decoded yet
- Lactose
- Low-irritant humectant and skin conditioner, common in gentle formulations.
- Butyloctanol
- Ester solvent/humectant, adjusts spreadability; low volatility, may leave residue, watch for cross-sensitivity in allergy-prone users.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Poloxamer 124
- Not decoded yet
- Zinc Sulfate
- Antimicrobial and astringent, restricted in oral care; <1% topical, metallic taste, avoid mixing with amino acids
- Glyceryl Oleate
- Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.
