- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Capric Triglyceride
- Not decoded yet
- Coconut Oil
- Coconut oil, strong emollient but highly comedogenic; avoid for acne-prone skin
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Glyceryl Monostearate
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
