Formulation view Cream-texture essence using stearyl/cetyl alcohols and sunflower oil/squalane to mimic sebum. Enriched with Haematococcus pluvialis extract and tea/apple leaf antioxidants. Mild preservative system with amino acids. Suitable for oily or combination skin seeking intensive repair, though the heavy, occlusive texture provides high hydration and barrier protection for dry conditions.

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Stearyl Alcohol

Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Brassicamidopropyl Dimethylamine

Canola-derived cationic conditioner for hair/skin; water-soluble, watch anionic surfactant compatibility.

Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity

PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether

Caprylyl ether solvent, foam booster; PEG derivative, note skin penetration

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Polyester-11

Not decoded yet

Aspartic Acid

Amino acid humectant and conditioner, common in rinse-off products; low levels mild, high levels may shift pH

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract

Haematococcus pluvialis extract rich in astaxanthin; potent antioxidant; used in anti-aging and photoprotection formulas.

Prunus Amygdalus Amara Kernel Oil

Bitter almond kernel oil for fragrance and emollience; contains allergens, 2 comedogenic rating.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Hydroxyacetophenone

Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Pyrus Malus Leaf Extract

Pyrus malus leaf extract for skin conditioning; plant-derived polyphenols, low irritancy at standard concentrations

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract

Vanilla extract adds scent and soothing; acts as natural fragrance, dose carefully.

Jasminum Officinale Flower Water

Jasminum officinale flower water for fragrance and conditioning; may contain allergenic spices, caution for sensitive skin

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Rosa Centifolia Flower Water

Distilled rose water for soothing; aqueous phase with trace volatile allergens

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Glycine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Leucine

Amino acid for antistatic and skin/hair conditioning; used at low concentrations.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Tyrosine

Amino acid involved in melanin synthesis; used for hair conditioning.

Phenylalanine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; usually part of a blend, no significant standalone efficacy data

Valine

Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Proline

Proline, amino-acid humectant; boosts stratum corneum hydration, stable at pH 4-5.

Isoleucine

Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Methionine

Sulfur-containing amino acid for hair and skin conditioning; often used in combinations with other amino acids.

Cysteine

Cysteine reducing agent at 1–5% for waving; acidic amino acid, sulfur odor possible, pH buffering needed
