- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Oryza Sativa Bran Wax
- Rice bran wax for conditioning and film formation; hydrophobic, low comedogenicity.
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Beheneth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitan Tristearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for lotions; pairs with water-soluble surfactants.
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Inositol
- Humectant at 0.5–2%; gentle moisturizing, suitable for sensitive skin
- Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate
- Yeast/rice ferment filtrate with bioactive metabolites; moisturizing and skin-conditioning; natural origin, monitor microbial stability.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
- Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.
- Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract
- Cladosiphon okamuranus extract containing polysaccharides, used for moisturizing and skin conditioning
- Indigofera Tinctoria Leaf Extract

- Not decoded yet
- Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside
- Caprylyl/capryl glucoside, mild sugar surfactant; low irritation, moderate cleansing
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Trihydroxystearin
- Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
