- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
- Amino acid based mild surfactant, soft lather; cleaning power increases with salt but may dry out.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
- Sulfate surfactant at 1–5%; strong cleansing, may cause dryness/irritation
- PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate
- PEG-modified emulsifier; mild, low-foam. For O/W and anhydrous systems, check compatibility and viscosity.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil
- Sclerocarya birrea seed oil; fatty acid-rich for hair and skin conditioning; requires antioxidants due to unsaturation.
