Formulation view This minimalist serum relies on squalene and plant oils as the base. Core actives include retinyl palmitate and Vitamin E derivatives. The formula lacks preservatives and emulsifiers, depending on lipid stability. Ideal for dry skin at night. Formulator's note: the simple structure reduces irritants, but the absence of preservatives demands strict aseptic packaging and light protection, suiting niche, fragrance-averse users.
