An 8-amino-acid acetylated peptide (trade name SNAP-8), the extended version of Acetyl Hexapeptide-3. Acts as a neurotransmitter inhibitor that relaxes facial expression muscles, providing a topical anti-wrinkle mechanism similar to botulinum toxin. Used in premium K-beauty peptide ampoules.
4
A naturally occurring amino acid that acts as a humectant and supports the skin's own moisture-retention system.
5
A fermented soybean extract using Bacillus species bacteria. Fermentation by Bacillus transforms soy compounds, potentially enhancing isoflavone bioavailability and adding probiotic metabolites. Used in Sana's fermented lotion.

A simple sugar humectant that draws moisture into the skin and serves as a substrate for skin-microbiome-friendly formulations.
14
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.
16
Enzymatically hydrolyzed soybean protein peptides used as a humectant and skin conditioner that helps retain moisture and smooth the skin surface.
17
A mixture of peptides and amino acids obtained by hydrolysis of wheat protein, used as a humectant and film-forming skin-conditioning agent.
21
A methyl glucoside ethoxylate (20 ethylene oxide units) used as a gentle humectant that provides lasting hydration with a non-tacky finish.
