³propylene glycol	solvent; humectant; gives a product "slip"; helps "carry" other ingredients into the skin; also enhances the efficacy of preservatives
⁴panthenol	humectant emollient moisturizer; anti-inflammatory
⁵lecithin	moisturizing phospholipid; emulsifies & thickens a product; water-binder; mild preservative; penetrates skin well so is a great ingredient others can "piggyback on" into your skin

¹¹citric acid	mainly used as a cleaning agent & preservative; pH adjuster; in higher concentration it's an AHA (in peels & antiaging products)

¹³ascorbyl palmitate	A moisturizing vitamin C ester, fat/lipid soluble, antioxidant and preservative
