Formulation view High-potency 30% Mandelic Acid treatment in a propylene glycol base. Enriched with coconut extract and seed oils for care. Preserved with a mild system. Ideal for resilient skin seeking gentle exfoliation. Formulator's note: Larger AHA molecule offers slower penetration; 30% concentration requires oil buffering. Simplified preservative system demands rigorous microbial control.

Ingredients explained
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Mandelic Acid
- Alpha-hydroxy acid for exfoliation and antibacterial effects; mild penetration, less photosensitivity than other AHAs
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract
- Coconut fruit extract at 0.1–5%; moisturizing, caution for oily skin at high levels
- Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil
- Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract
- Sweet almond extract, oils/phenolics for moisture/repair, low allergenicity but label nut origin
- Hydrogenated Olive Oil Caprylyl Esters
- Highly purified hydrogenated plant oil ester providing a silky, light film; extremely stable, resists oxidation, minimal comedogenicity.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Trilaurin
- Not decoded yet
- Triheptanoin
- Triheptanin; 0.5–5% oil phase; non-greasy emollient, low comedogenic, oxidation-resistant, suits light formulas
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
