Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Paraffinum Liquidum

Mineral oil occlusive; high moisture retention but heavy feel, moderate comedogenicity, caution for acne-prone skin.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Perfluorodecalin

Perfluorodecalin, hydrophobic solvent and glossing agent; used in haircare or dry shampoo, insoluble in water, control usage to avoid greasiness

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Glyceryl Stearate SE

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Leaf Extract

Licorice leaf extract with high glycyrrhizin content, used for soothing and brightening.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins

Lanolin

Wool-derived lipid, excellent occlusive emollient; high sensitization rate (wool alcohols), caution for sensitive skin.

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

PVM/MA Decadiene Crosspolymer

PVM/MA cross-polymer binder/thickener; matte film, useful in fixing products.

Diazolidinyl Urea

Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Chitosan

Chitosan film former and hair fixative; crustacean-derived, label as allergen, high concentrations may cause itching.

Retinyl Palmitate

Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Tocopherol
