- Potassium Nitrate
- Oral care agent for whitening/desensitization; oxidizing, avoid reducing agents/phenols.
- Sodium Fluoride
- Fluoride for antiplaque/oral care; restrict to oral products and control concentration
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine
- Cocamidopropyl betaine; zwitterionic co-surfactant reducing irritation and boosting foam, common in mild cleansers.
- Flavor
- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Sodium Saccharin
- High-potency sweetener for oral care products to improve taste; well-tolerated at low levels, no known irritancy.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sucralose
- High-intensity sweetener used for taste correction or sensory adjustment in rinse-off formulations; no humectant function
- Yellow 10
