Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Diglycerin

Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Ethoxydiglycol

Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Retinol

Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated

Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate

Dipeptide skin conditioner for moisturizing and repair; low concentration, minimal irritation or comedogenic risk.

Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil

Sea buckthorn oil rich in carotenoids; viscous and may stain light formulations.

Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract

Goji berry extract rich in antioxidants; used for antioxidant and skin protection benefits.

Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract

Strong humectant; high levels can increase viscosity and hygroscopicity.

Fructooligosaccharides

Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Sodium Phytate

Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.

Octanediol

Octanediol serves as a plasticizer and preservative booster; safe at low concentrations, often used in blends.
