- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Xylitylglucoside
- Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.
- Anhydroxylitol
- Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk

- Perfume
- Perfume/Fragrance blend. Opaque composition, a leading cause of contact dermatitis. Must list specific EU 26 allergens if present. Patch test required.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract

- Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract
- Açaí extract; rich in antioxidants; used for hair/skin, oil-based so needs emulsification.
