    I recommend sodium lactate and trimethylglycine, remember that sodium lactate compromises the stability and density conferred by rheological modifiers such as carbomers.

    I find that Glyceryl Glucoside works for my skin, besides from the ones listed above. I'm in an air conditioned room most of the day and i break out if my skin is overly dry.

    @ProfessorHerb Besides the occlusive and humecting ingredients, emollients (like isopropyl myristate or caprylic/capric triglyceride) help complete the combo.
