Levigating agents? Sounds like something you'd find in a rock band's backstage rider. But hey, if it gets the job done, I'm all for it!

Emulsifying agents? Not unless we're making a salad dressing. Levigating agents are the secret sauce for this one.

Preservatives? What is this, a pickling contest? Clearly, we need some levigating action to get that solid into the ointment.

Diluents? Really? That's like trying to mix flour into water without a whisk. Levigating agents all the way!
