- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Salvia Officinalis Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Cucurbita Pepo Seed Oil
- Pumpkin seed oil, rich in linoleic acid and tocopherols; emollient; 1-5%, high oleic systems may be comedogenic, good tolerance
- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil
- Rosemary leaf oil for fragrance and conditioning; essential oil, allergen risk, limit usage
- Salvia Sclarea Oil
- Clary sage oil, aromatic and tonic; contains ketones, limit usage to avoid irritation
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil

- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
