Formulation view Aqueous regenerating serum with MAG as core antioxidant, combined with various amino acids, saccharides, and botanicals. Polymethylsilsesquioxane provides smooth texture, using mild preservatives. Factory perspective notes wide active spectrum including proteins and lipids with poor stability, requiring strict batch control and microbial risk management to ensure the high-concentration moisturizing system isn't overly sticky.
