Free of alcoholFree of parabensFree of siliconesFree of sulfatesFree of formaldehyde releasersContains mineral oilContains EU-26 allergensContains fragranceContains PEGContains essential oils

Formulation view Multi-phase cream using lightweight esters and Dicaprylyl Carbonate for a dry touch. Niacinamide and Ethyl Ascorbate serve as key actives for brightening and antioxidants. Fatty alcohol emulsion ensures stability; Panthenol and Urea reinforce the barrier. Balanced feel for most skin types. Factory observation: Ethyl Ascorbate stability requires light-protective packaging, and precise temperature control is needed during emulsification.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Undecane

Undecane; light aliphatic hydrocarbon emollient; high volatility, pair with occlusives, flammable

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Glycerin

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Cocoglycerides

Coco-glycerides act as emulsifiers and skin conditioning agents; gentle, often used in soap-free formulations.

Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

Ethyl ascorbic acid, lipophilic Vit C derivative, antioxidant/whitening; more stable than L-AA, for oil phases

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Peg-Stearates

Not decoded yet

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

C-13-18 Acid Triglyceride

Not decoded yet

Ceteareth-20

Not decoded yet

Panthenol

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

Steareth-20

Not decoded yet

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil

Hydrogenated jojoba oil, emollient; lower comedogenicity than native oil

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Hydrogenated Retinol

Not decoded yet

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Fucus Vesiculosus Extract

Brown alga extract providing moisture, soothing, and smoothing; gentle with no known sensitization or comedogenic risk.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Serine

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

Diisopropyl Adipate

Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Acrylic Acid/Acrylamidomethyl Propane Sulfonic Acid Copolymer

Water-soluble polymer for thickening and chelation; increases viscosity and interferes with metal ions.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

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

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol

Ergothioneine analog antioxidant; stabilizes formula, protect from light.
