Formulation view Minimalist water-based formulation featuring 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, cellulose gum, aloe vera, and sodium hyaluronate. A simple preservative system uses phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol. Suited for those seeking targeted actives. Formulator note: Stability relies on precise pH control; the cellulose gum improves spreadability, and the low-burdensome preservative profile is a plus.

- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Phenethyl Alcohol
- Alcohol with preservative and fragrance properties; 0.5-1%, floral scent, can replace some preservatives
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
