Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Glycerin

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Methyl Gluceth-20

Avena Sativa Kernel Extract

Antioxidant and soothing extract; mild abrasive properties, common in conditioning formulas

C12-14 Pareth-12

Not decoded yet

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Chia Seed Extract

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Diphenyl Dimethicone

Silicone for emollience and antistatic; used in hair and skin care, check compatibility with other silicones

1,3-Butanediol

Not decoded yet

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Polyquaternium-51

Not decoded yet

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Saccharide Hydrolysate

Saccharide hydrolysate, strong humectant with hygroscopic properties; suitable for various dosage forms.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate

Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems

Pelargonium Graveolens Extract

Pelargonium extract for fragrance and skin conditioning; contains essential oil components, requires allergen labeling.

Cyclodextrin
