Formulation view Aqueous gel system using dipropylene glycol and ethoxydiglycol as solvents, with PEG/PPG glycerin blends for hydration. Multiple PEG-modified emulsifiers create an oil-free, lightweight texture suitable for acne care. Dipotassium glycyrrhizate soothes inflammation, while hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid hydrates. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and EDTA, pH adjusted by citrate. The formula is non-greasy and non-comedogenic, ideal for oily and acne-prone skin daily moisturizing.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin
- PEG/PPG polybutylene glycerin humectant; monitor PEG oxidation and stability.
- PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate
- PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.
- PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O; contains PEG, verify preservative system.
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; prone to oil contamination.
- PEG-20 Glyceryl Isostearate
- PEG-20 Glyceryl Isostearate, surfactant/emulsifier for cleansing; monitor high PEG concentration sensitivity
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PPG-6-Decyltetradeceth-30
- Not decoded yet
- Pca Ethyl Cocoyl Arginate
- ANTISTATIC, MOISTURISING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
- Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.
- O-Cymen-5-Ol
- Antioxidant and antimicrobial; low levels for preservation; irritating at high concentrations, restricted use.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
