- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Aspartic Acid
- Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Histidine
- Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.
- Isoleucine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.
- Phenylalanine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Valine
- Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Glycol Distearate
- Glycol distearate for thickening and emulsification; non-ionic, improves viscosity
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier; often co-emulsifier for stabilizing O/W or W/O systems, low irritation.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
