- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Ethylhexyl Stearate
- Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract
