- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
- Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex
- Water-soluble green pigment; provides antioxidant and deodorizing effects; used for natural green coloring.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract
- Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
- Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions
- Lens Esculenta Seed Extract
- Lentil seed extract with proteins; provides skin protection and conditioning
- Arctium Lappa Root Extract
- Burdock root extract for skin conditioning; watch for raw material impurities.
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
- Equisetum Arvense Extract
- Horsetail extract; silicic acid and phenols for astringency; contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, control source and purity
- Frangula Alnus Bark Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Geranium Maculatum Extract
- Geranium extract for toning; botanical actives, watch batch variation and potential allergenicity.
- Juglans Nigra Leaf Extract

- Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
- Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.
- Symphytum Officinale Root Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Urtica Dioica Extract
- Nettle extract for anti-seborrheic/astringent; astringent properties, suitable for oily skin/hair, caution on dry skin.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Pca
- Proline carboxylic acid, NMF component; humectant, generally low irritation but may sensitise.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Alanine

- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Proline
- Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.
- Sodium Ascorbate
- Sodium ascorbate; water-soluble vitamin C form, stable antioxidant. Mild at low conc., may irritate at high conc.
- Simethicone
- Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
