- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Glycerine
- Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.
- Azadirachta indica
- Not decoded yet
- Tea tree oil
- Botanical essential oil, antibacterial and oil control; contains camphor, high concentrations may sensitize or irritate
- Chamomilla Recutita Oil
- Chamomile essential oil used for fragrance and soothing; contains volatiles, check for sensitives at high levels.

- EDTA
- Chelating agent for stability; use metal salts, keep concentration low (<0.1%) to maintain pH.
- CI 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- CI 19140
