Inert solvent: water


Explanation:
'Solvent' is another possibility as water is not actually inert.

An inert solvent is a solvent that does not react with anything in solution. For example, water may be an inert solvent for some reactions (like typical acid/base reactions).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Many thanks for your valuable suggestion, Douglas. I think both 'inert ingredient' and 'inert solvent' fit equally well in the sentence and wish I could award 4 points to both. In the end, I decided to go with 'inert ingredient' because of its broader scope. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond, though.
