- Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit
- Not decoded yet
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- Glyceryl Monostearate Se
- Not decoded yet
- Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride
- Light ester emollient; clear sensory feel, non-comedogenic, suitable for oily skin.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Prunus Armeniaca Oil

- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Oryza Sativa Bran Oil
- Rice bran oil rich in oryzanol and linoleic acid for conditioning; moderate comedogenic rating, mind oxidative stability.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Retinol
- Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated

- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Sodium Anisate Sodium Anisate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
