Where have you seen the term “miscellaneous additives” in regards to cosmetics?
-
In the syllabus of Formulation and development- 1, it is a PG subject and miscellaneous additives is the sub topic of It, I try to find out exactly what is it but I can’t find anything about it
I hope you will help me

I don’t think any ingredients are categorized as miscellaneous additives. And if they were I assume ingredients like fragrance, colorants, claims ingredient or fairy dust (as Perry calls it) would fit this category. But even then their functions and uses would differ.

thanks for the info sir
but it is not enough to solve my queries

I think in the context of your question, miscellaneous additives refers to “all the ingredients that weren’t otherwise mentioned.”
Without knowing the other ingredients mentioned, I can’t really say what would qualify as miscellaneous. @Christopher has listed some of the ones which could generally be considered miscellaneous.
This article on cosmetic ingredients may be helpful.
