Formulation view A collagen repair cream using an oil-in-water matrix with beeswax and stearic acid for occlusion. It features hydrolyzed collagen, ceramide NP, and adenosine to support the stratum corneum. Seaweed extracts provide hydration and antioxidant benefits, while ester oils ensure a light feel. Ideal for dry and mature skin. Formulator note: The preservation system uses a polyol and hexanediol combination to balance mildness and efficacy, ensuring structural stability.

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Ethylhexyl Stearate

Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate

Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Beeswax

Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Sophora Japonica Fruit Extract

Cassia Italica Leaf Extract

Enteromorpha Compressa Extract

Compressed Ulva extract, skin protector; watch microbe/heavy-metal QC on algal extracts.

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Codium Tomentosum Extract

Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract

Giant kelp extract; moisturizing polysaccharides; ocean theme, check for marine allergies.

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Gelidium Cartilagineum Extract

Red algae extract acting as a skin protecting agent, often used for hydration or soothing, check stability.

Oenothera Biennis Oil

Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants

Linum Usitatissimum Seed Oil

Flaxseed oil; high oleic, emollient; prone to oxidation.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Polysorbate 60

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

PEG-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
