Formulation view This gel uses rose flower water and glycol humectants with iris extract. Texture is built with carbomer and crosspolymers, plus silicone for slip. Preserved with phenoxyethanol. Aims for hydration with a light feel, suitable for all skin types. Factory note: flower water pH variability makes neutralization critical for gel structure; plant extract-silicone interface needs care.
