- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil
- Plant oil for emollience and nutrition; contains proteins that may cause sensitivity, use caution in sensitive skin
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Sucrose Stearate
- Succrose ester emulsifier/emolient with cleansing properties; HLB determines emulsion type.
- Sucrose Distearate
- Nonionic emulsifier and emollient at 1–3%; biodegradable, low irritancy, for mild cleansing and emulsions
- Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil
- Hemp seed oil, non-psychoactive, emollient for skin and hair; high linoleic acid, needs antioxidants
- Galactoarabinan
- Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.
- Xanthan Gum
