Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Carapa Guaianensis Seed Oil

Carapa guaijensis seed oil, hard vegetable oil for conditioning and deodorizing; waxy, rich feel.

Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil

Flaxseed oil; high oleic, emollient; prone to oxidation.
