- Not decoded yet
- Methylsilanol Mannuronate
- Water-soluble silicone for anti-static and smoothness; chemically stable, no known allergenic data
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Galactoarabinan
- Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sodium PCA
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Extract
- Argan oil extract, oleic/lauric acids for nourishing/repair, comedogenic 1–2, oil-phase
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Methylparaben
- Sodium Methylparaben preservative; restrict concentration, EU recommends V/12 limit, avoid in pregnancy
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Chondrus Crispus
- Crisp chondrus seaweed extract; often used as thickener or skin conditioner; labeled as fragrance or conditioner, check formulation context.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

- Sodium Propylparaben
- Propylparaben sodium; broad-spectrum preservative at 0.1–0.4% aq., EU allergen26
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Rhodochrosite Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Methylparaben
