Formulation view Light serum using Alcohols for rapid absorption. Key actives include Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide, and Ethyl Ascorbate for renewal and brightness. Silk Amino Acids and Carrageenan provide moisture. Best for oily skin. Factory observation: High alcohol content requires optimized sealing to prevent evaporation; monitoring viscosity changes upon mixing polyols and acids is critical for consistency.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Silk Amino Acids
- Silk amino acids for humectancy and hair/skin care; low molecular weight, easily absorbed
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Peg-40
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Ammonium Glycyrrhizate
- Soothing anti-inflammatory and emulsifier; derived from licorice, minor allergen risk
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Peg-7
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl Cocoate
- Not decoded yet
- Acetyl-Hexapeptide-51 Amide
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Sodium Carrageenan
- Seaweed-derived thickener and stabilizer, 0.5-1.5% adjusts viscosity; sensitive to ions, test compatibility with cationic surfactants.
- Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Ethyl ascorbic acid, lipophilic Vit C derivative, antioxidant/whitening; more stable than L-AA, for oil phases
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Cucumis Sativus Seed Extract
- Soothing skin-conditioning botanical extract; use as functional additive, check stability at high loads.
- Morus Alba Bark Extract
- Mulberry bark extract for skin conditioning; niche ingredient, stability and safety data limited
- Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract
- Roselle flower extract rich in anthocyanins, used for skin conditioning and antioxidant support
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Waltheria Indica Leaf Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Ferulic Acid
- Antioxidant, often combined with vitamin C and E; 0.5-2%, photolabile
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
