Formulation view A lightweight aqueous gel featuring polymeric thickeners, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid for hydration and brightening. Modified starch provides oil absorption and film formation, complemented by vitamin derivatives for antioxidant protection. Suited for oily and combination skin as a day lotion. From a factory perspective, starch components are prone to microbial growth in humidity, requiring a robust preservative system and attention to compatibility with emulsifiers.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch for oil absorption/films/thickening, 2–8%; mildew risk in high humidity, needs preservatives.
- Calcium Pantothenate
- Pro-vitamin B5 for hair/skin conditioning; water-soluble, used in conditioners
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Vitamin C derivative antioxidant at 0.5–2%; light-sensitive, requires opaque packaging
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract*
- Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins
- Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract
- Bilberry extract; anthocyanin rich; gentle antioxid/conditioning, no pub comed data
- Pyridoxine Hcl
- Vitamin B6 HCl; trace skin/hair conditioning/antiox; very mild, high-conc pigmentation debate
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Zea Mays Germ Oil
- Corn germ oil, rich in VE and unsaturated fatty acids; emollient/antioxidant, store away from light.
- Beta-Carotene
- Beta-carotene for color and antioxidants; oil-soluble, protect from oxidation and color change.
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
