Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Rosa Damascena Flower Oil

Rose essential oil with strong scent; contains allergens, requires IFRA compliance.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Coco-Glucoside

Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products

Glycoproteins

Glycoproteins for hydration and conditioning; enhance skin barrier; verify source for vegan requirements.

Acacia Dealbata Flower Wax

Acacia dealbata flower wax for thickening and emulsion stability; low irritancy, caution in pollen-allergic users.

Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Wax

Jasmine wax fraction for fragrance; natural allergen source requires risk assessment.

Narcissus Poeticus Flower Wax

Waxy fraction with floral notes; minor usage as fragrance component; check for allergens

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Glutamic Acid
