- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Salicylate
- Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.
- Butylene Glycol

- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes

- Cocamide DEA foam/emulsion stabilizer; EU restriction III/60 (<1%), potential allergen & dioxane risk.
- TEA-Lauryl Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Lauryl Betaine

- Not decoded yet
- Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract
- Sophora root extract; matrine-rich with antimicrobial and anti-itch effects, used for skin conditioning.
- PEG-75 Lanolin

- Yellow 5
- Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
