- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Peg-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Avena Sativa Leaf/Stem Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Oenothera Biennis Oil
- Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
