Formulation view Aqueous cream with urea, glycerin, and sodium lactate for intense hydration. Ceramides, cholesterol, and hyaluronic acid repair barriers. Shea butter, squalane, and vitamin E provide occlusion. Alcohol adjusts texture. For dry or compromised skin. Formulator view: Multiple humectants and lipids balance immediate hydration with long-term locking, though high urea may sting.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Urea
- Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Cocoglycerides
- Coco-glycerides act as emulsifiers and skin conditioning agents; gentle, often used in soap-free formulations.
- Sodium Lactate
- Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Methyl Stearate
- Not decoded yet
- Cetostearyl Alcohol
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Polyethylene Glycol
- Not decoded yet
- Shea Butter
- Natural butter providing emollient and occlusive moisturizing; used as emollient and emulsifier.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone
- Not decoded yet
- Avocado Oil
- Avocado oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids for nourishment and repair; heavy texture.
- Oleyl Alcohol
- Oleic acid derivative acting as emulsifier, thickener, and perfume; mild and low comedogenic risk, often paired with oleic acid.
- Glycine Soja
- Soy-derived ingredient (oil or hydrolysate); rich in lipids/amino acids, monitor comedogenicity in oily skin
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- C Vitamin
- Not decoded yet
- D-Panthenol
- Not decoded yet
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Phospholipids
- Biomimetic repair and emollient, mimics skin lipids; typically processed at low temps, may be sticky at high levels
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Ceramide
- Skin barrier lipid repair agent; usually formulated with other lipids for optimal barrier reinforcement.
- Hyaluronic Acid
- High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.
- Preservative
- Not decoded yet
