- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- 1,3 Butylene Glycol
- 1,3-Butylene glycol humectant and solvent; low irritancy, regulates viscosity and penetration.
- Dipropylene glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Carbopol
- Not decoded yet
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- L-Arginine
- L-Arginine, amphoteric amino acid for pH adjustment and skin conditioning; water-soluble, hygroscopic
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Coix Seed Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Fucus vesiculosus
- Not decoded yet

- Polyquaternium-65
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
- Broad-spectrum preservative; mild irritation; caution for sensitized skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Perfume
