The sodium salt of a carboxymethyl ether of yeast-derived beta-1,3-glucan, used as a water-soluble humectant and film-forming agent with soothing and antioxidant properties.

A carboxymethylated, water-soluble derivative of beta-glucan (typically from oat or yeast) used for its soothing and skin-conditioning properties in sensitive-skin formulas.

Carboxymethylated hyaluronic acid — a modified form of sodium hyaluronate where additional carboxymethyl groups are added to the backbone. Enhanced adherence to the skin surface vs. standard HA. Used in Matsuyama's Hadauru toner for superior hydration.

The sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, a cellulose derivative. Used as a thickener, binder, and film-forming agent in cosmetics. Provides gel-like consistency.

An anionic surfactant derived from cetyl and stearyl alcohols used as a gentle cleansing and emulsifying agent in cosmetic formulations.

Common salt used to adjust the viscosity and stability of water-based cosmetic formulas.

A sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sodium salt derived from animal cartilage. A potent humectant that attracts and retains water in the skin and supports the extracellular matrix.

A salt of citric acid used to buffer and stabilize formula pH and to chelate trace metal ions.

A mixture of sodium alkyl sulfate esters derived from coconut oil fatty acids, used as an anionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming in personal care products.

An amphoteric surfactant derived from coconut oil. Carries both positive and negative charges depending on pH, making it highly compatible with skin's amphoteric surface. Used as a primary or co-surfactant in mild cleansing foams, especially for sensitive and dry skin.

An amino acid-derived surfactant made by condensing coconut fatty acids with L-alanine, used in gentle facial cleansers and foaming washes for its mild, low-irritation cleansing profile.

A mild amino acid-based surfactant formed from coconut-derived fatty acids conjugated with amino acids from hydrolyzed apple protein, used in gentle cleansing formulations.

An amino acid-based anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and glutamic acid, used for gentle cleansing and foaming in skin care and hair care products.

A mild amino-acid-derived surfactant (coconut fatty acid + glycine) used in gentle cleansers for its skin-friendly, low-irritation cleansing with a creamy lather.

A mild surfactant common in syndet bars and gentle cleansers.

A mild anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and isethionic acid, valued for its gentle cleansing properties and ability to create luxurious foam without irritating the skin.

The sodium salt of dehydroacetic acid, a broad-spectrum synthetic preservative used in water-based cosmetics to prevent microbial growth.

A sulfated dextran polysaccharide sodium salt. Used in cosmetics as a humectant and water-binding polymer.

A sodium salt gemini-type amino acid surfactant synthesized from lauroyl glutamate and lysine, used in Japanese cosmetic cleansers and emulsions for mild cleansing and skin conditioning.

A sodium salt of linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid (LAS/SDBS), used as an anionic surfactant providing cleansing, emulsifying, and wetting functions in cosmetic formulations.

The sodium salt of formic acid (methanoic acid). Used as a pH-buffering and stabilizing agent in cosmetic formulas. Naturally present in trace amounts in some plant extracts.

The sodium salt of gluconic acid, used as a chelating agent and sequestrant in cosmetics to bind calcium and magnesium ions, improving formula stability and enhancing preservative effectiveness.

The sodium salt of glucuronic acid, a component of hyaluronic acid's molecular backbone. Used as a mild humectant and skin conditioner that supports natural glycosaminoglycan pathways. Included in Filorga's NCEF complex.

The sodium salt of glycerophosphoric acid, used as a skin-conditioning agent and mild pH adjuster or buffer in cosmetic formulations.
