- Mild amphoteric cleanser, good foam; may precipitate with cationics, control dose for low irritation
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
- PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate
- Sodium cocoyl glycinate; mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; precipitate in hard water, use chelators
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
