- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Silanediol Salicylate
- Not decoded yet
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Succinic Acid
- Dicarboxylic acid used as a buffer and natural metabolite; slight flavoring effect, low irritation
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
- High polymer for thickening and film formation; water-soluble, used in physical sunscreens or gels, tacky at high levels
- Lysine Thiazolidine Carboxylate
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sulfur
- Sebum-regulating and anti-seborrheic agent for acne; has distinct odor, low irritancy at standard levels but can be drying.
