Formulation view Silicone and isododecane base creates an anhydrous, fast-drying system. Features high-concentration L-ascorbic acid and ascorbyl tetrahexyldecanoate for dual-action antioxidant protection, supported by ubiquinone and bisabolol. Ideal for those seeking brightening with a lightweight texture. From a manufacturing view, stabilizing high-dose water-soluble vitamin C in an anhydrous matrix is a significant technical challenge requiring airtight packaging.
