Formulation view Aqueous serum with high denatured alcohol content for solvent action, featuring hydroxyethyl urea and hyaluronate. Thickened with carbomer and smoothed with silicones. Suitable for those preferring a light texture. Factory observation: High alcohol concentration may irritate dry skin; the acidic system requires precise pH control, and triethanolamine usage must be limited to minimize sensitization.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid
- Non-ionic buffer to adjust pH around 5.5; commonly used at 0.1–0.5%
- Hydroxyethyl Urea
- Potent humectant and conditioner; high penetration, used for skin hydration and hair care
- Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane
- Silicone modifier for smoothness; contains PEG, used for foam and cleansing, manage PEG residuals
- Hydroxypropyl Tetrahydropyrantriol
- Antioxidant and skin conditioning agent; effective at low levels, test for sensitivity.
- PEG-20
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- PPG-3 Myristyl Ether
- PPG-3 myristyl ether, emollient/solvent at 2–10%; low irritancy, enhances spreadability, high levels may sensitize.
- Ci 15985/Yellow 6
- Water-soluble Yellow 6 dye; must comply with regulatory limits, toxicology warnings exist
- Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide
- Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Methyldihydrojasmonate
- Methyl dihydrojasmonate, jasmine accord; synthetic fragrance, potential allergen.
- Sodium Acrylates Crosspolymer-2
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ammonium Polyacryldimethyltauramide/Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate
- Polyamido-polyamine copolymer, conditioning and chelating agent; water-soluble, non-volatile.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
