- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.
- Dihydroxyacetone
- Tanning agent; protein browning at 1–4%; uneven staining or residue risk
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Musa Sapientum Fruit Extract
- Fruit extract for skin conditioning; check formulation stability.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids
- Not decoded yet
- Beta Hydroxy Acids
- Not decoded yet
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
