- Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.
- Galactoarabinan
- Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*
- Aloe leaf juice powder for polymeric moisture and soothing; dry powder requiring rehydration, generally low irritation.
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Glyceryl Undecylenate
- Light ester emollient with silk-like, spreadable feel; common carrier for UV filters, good silicone compatibility
- Sclerotium Gum
- Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Not decoded yet

- Not decoded yet
- Lysolecithin
- Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.
- Ribose
- Ribose, humectant and skin conditioner; small molecule with high hygroscopicity, blend with other humectants.
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil
- Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin
- Pullulan
- Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Coffea Arabica Seed Extract
- Coffee extract for skin conditioning/antioxidants; contains caffeine, watch sensitivity.
- Chlorella Vulgaris Extract

- Lavandula Stoechas Extract
- French lavender extract rich in linalool; offers natural soothing aroma; requires allergen labeling when used as fragrance.
- Levulinic Acid
- Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.
- P-Anisic Acid
- Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Tocopherol
