It's nitroglycerine absorbed into diatomaceous earth mixed with some sodium carbonate. Diatomaceous earth is mostly the fossilized remains of diatoms, a kind of hard shelled algae.

The structure of nitroglycerine can be found at chemfinder:

Sodium carbonate is Na2CO3.

Here's some info on diatomaceous earth:
