- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Xanthan Gum
