Formulation view A lightweight moisturizer skeleton using polyol humectants and silicone emollients, with polyacrylamide and carbomer for viscosity. Actives include yeast extract, nano Vitamin C, and collagen for repair and antioxidant support. Preserved with phenoxyethanol. A formulator's observation: polyacrylamide requires strict quality control for monomer residues. Silicides provide smoothness but face regulatory scrutiny. The complex formula challenges nano Vitamin C stability, requiring robust antioxidant protection against inactivation.

- Marine Collagen

- Nano Vitamin C
- Not decoded yet
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Soluble Collagen
- Water-soluble collagen for hydration, film-forming, hair care; MW affects permeation/film
- Hydrolyzed Yeast Extract
- Small peptides and amino acids for skin conditioning; often used in anti-aging claims.
- Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
- Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
