Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Helichrysum Stoechas Extract

Not decoded yet

Canola Oil

Low-erucic acid vegetable oil as emollient; check allergen labeling if applicable.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Colloidal Oatmeal

Colloidal oatmeal; absorbs oil, soothes, mild exfoliation; allergen filtering required, suits barrier repair

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Seaweed polysaccharide; film forming and moisturizing; provides gel texture; gentle.

Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract

Plant extract for skin protection; contains antioxidants, may need stabilizers at high conc.

Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum

Tamarind gum for emulsification & thickening; tacky at high levels

Ceramide NG

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Lysolecithin

Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Glyceryl Polyacrylate

Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Citrus Reticulata Peel Oil

Citrus oil for scent; high phototoxicity means low use in daytime products.
