Barrier Support, Brightening
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 used for barrier support, brightening, oil balance, and smoother-looking texture. It is a versatile active that can make a formula feel more skin-supportive.
Most skin types tolerate it well, but concentration and formula pairing still matter. In a mixed active routine, it is best read as a helpful multitasker rather than a guaranteed irritation-free ingredient.
Humectant, Skin Conditioning
Glycerin is a classic humectant that draws water toward the skin surface. It is one of the most reliable support ingredients for making a formula feel hydrating and comfortable.
Its role is not flashy, but it matters: glycerin can soften the feel of active formulas and help reduce the tight finish that some lightweight serums leave behind.
Humectant, Solvent
Propylene Glycol is a supporting ingredient that works as both a humectant and a solvent. It helps pull water toward the skin surface while also helping other ingredients dissolve cleanly in the formula.
In a serum, it can improve slip and help the product feel less patchy as it spreads. Very reactive skin may still want to patch test, especially when it appears in an already active formula.

Humectant, Skin Conditioning
Sodium Hyaluronate is a salt form of hyaluronic acid and acts as a humectant. It helps the skin surface hold onto water, which can make a vitamin C serum feel more comfortable and less drying.
This ingredient is mostly about hydration and finish. It does not replace moisturizer, but it can help the formula leave skin looking smoother and more lightly plumped.
