Formulation view An oil-in-water emulsion using isopropyl myristate for a light texture, combined with lactic acid and sodium hyaluronate for hydration. Preservation relies on parabens and imidazolidinyl urea, requiring caution for formaldehyde sensitivity. Suitable for combination skin. Formulator note: light esters may be comedogenic; oily skin should monitor residue.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Imidazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Benzyl Salicylate
- UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Butylphenyl Methylpropional
- Synthetic fragrance with floral notes; EU regulations limit usage, strict monitoring required.
- Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone
- Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
