- Decyl Oleate
- Decyl oleate, light ester emollient and solubilizer; refreshing feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for most skin types.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Isoamyl Laurate
- Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations

- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Enteromorpha Compressa Extract
- Compressed Ulva extract, skin protector; watch microbe/heavy-metal QC on algal extracts.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Beta-Sitosterol
- Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.
- Phosphatidylcholine
- Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability
- Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract
- Holy basil leaf extract for conditioning; complex botanical, patch test recommended for compatibility
- Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract
- Silybum marianum fruit extract (milk thistle). Antioxidant. Contains alkaloids/terpenes; rare cross-allergenicity with grass/pollen families.
- Squalene
- Squalene, lightweight emollient, easily absorbed; animal sources restricted, plant sources preferred
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Triethyl Citrate

- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
