Formulation view Niacinamide core paired with raspberry leaf polyphenols targets oil control and brightening, while silica offers matte absorption. Xanthan and cellulose gums form the gel base, with sorbic acid and phenoxyethanol for preservation. Fragrance presence requires sensitization assessment for sensitive skin. Suited for oily or combination types for local application. Formulator's view notes the polymer system creates a unique putty texture, where low pH aids preservative efficacy but must balance feel.
