Formulation view Moisturizer base of water and propylene glycol, emulsified with cetyl alcohol and cationic polymer. Reinforced with phytosphingosine, ceramides, and cholesterol to mimic stratum corneum lipids. Contains ginseng and royal jelly extracts; phenoxyethanol preservative. Best for dry or compromised barriers. Formulator note: Lipid blend boosts repair, but emulsifier compatibility with polyols must be ensured to prevent phase separation.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate
- Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.
- Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate
- Sodium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate for emulsion stabilization and thickening; ionic polymer, check ion compatibility.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Ceramide AP
- Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids
- Ceramide EOP
- Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.
- Phytosphingosine
- Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate
- Mild emulsifier at 1–5%; suitable for sensitive skin, mind cationic surfactant compatibility
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract
- Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent
- Fructooligosaccharides
- Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky
- Beta Vulgaris Root Extract
- Plant root extract used as a skin conditioning agent to improve skin texture and barrier function.
- Potassium Lactate
- Buffer and humectant at 1–5%; adjusts pH to 4.5–5.5, boosts moisture, low irritancy.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Dihydroxypropyl Arginine Hcl
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrolyzed Royal Jelly Protein
- Hydrolyzed royal jelly protein for amino acid nourishment; animal-derived, check allergen labeling.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
