Glyceryl Stearate SE

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

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.

Candelilla Cera

Candelilla wax for structure; high levels may cause dryness

Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter*

Cocoa butter, plant fat, used as emollient; moderate comedogenicity, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant protection, oily acne-prone skin should control dosage.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil*

Lightweight seed oil rich in Vitamin E and linoleic acid; suitable for sensitive skin, acts as emollient.

Dehydroacetic Acid

Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.

Arnica Montana Flower Extract

Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil*

Calendula flower oil for soothing and repair, common in sensitive/damaged skin care; low comedogenicity.

Bisabolol

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