Formulation view Gentle formulation based on Avène Thermal Spring Water, using cyclopentasiloxane for a light texture. Stabilized by a low-irritation system of benzoic acid, phenoxyethanol, and EDTA. Includes phenylethyl resorcinol and retinal for skin tone regulation. Factory observation: the mild preservative combination is ideal for sensitive skin, though emulsion interface stability requires precision; silicones provide instant slip, suitable for daily gentle care and pigmentation support.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Triethylhexanoin
- Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent
- Cyclomethicone
- Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026
- Avene Thermal Spring Water
- Avene Thermal Spring Water; contains trace minerals and silica; used as a solvent or aqueous base with soothing properties.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- Ceteareth-33
- Not decoded yet
- Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride
- Light ester emollient; clear sensory feel, non-comedogenic, suitable for oily skin.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Bht
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Oenothera Biennis Oil
- Natural oil rich in GLA; supports barrier, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Phenylethyl Resorcinol
- Phenylethyl resorcinol, antioxidant/whitening at 0.1–1%; inhibits tyrosinase, watch compatibility with high-dose VC.
- Red 33
- FD&C Red 33 synthetic dye; verify metal impurities; monitor sensitive users.
- Retinal
- Potent vitamin A aldehyde for cell turnover; low effective range 0.01-0.05%, unstable, avoid for pregnant users.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tocopheryl Glucoside
- Water-soluble tocopherol glycoside; antioxidant and skin conditioner. Reduces lipid oxidation, low irritation.
