- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Red Ginseng Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract
- Plant extract used as auxiliary humectant and soothing agent at low concentrations
- Panax Ginseng Callus Culture Extract
- Ginseng callus culture extract offering antioxidant and skin conditioning benefits; non-cytotoxic, low allergen risk.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Xanthan Gum
