- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- PEG-12 Laurate

- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
