Formulation view Water-based formulation combining Tremella polysaccharides and botanical extracts for hydration. Core niacinamide and broccoli extract paired with hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid. Suitable for all skin types seeking refinement, usable AM/PM. Factory observation: polyols and denatured alcohol adjust viscosity; compatibility with active agents in preservation systems must be balanced.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alcohol Denat.
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Tremella Fuciformis Extract
- Tremella extract; rich in polysaccharides, strong humectant that absorbs significant water, low irritation
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Diethoxyethyl Succinate
- Water-soluble co-solvent for lipophilic actives; check preservative compatibility.
- Brassica Oleracea Italica Extract
- Cavolo nero extract with polyphenols, astringent conditioner; botanical, potential pigment staining
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Octanediol
- Octanediol serves as a plasticizer and preservative booster; safe at low concentrations, often used in blends.
- Lauryl Dimethicone/Polyglycerin-3 Crosspolymer
- Silicone polymer for slip and gloss in cleansers. Low water solubility, can leave residue if not rinsed properly.
- Glyceryl Polyacrylate
- Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Polyacrylate-13
- Not decoded yet
- Ethoxydiglycol
- Ethoxydiglycol; high-perf solv/humectant; low irrit, EU limit 20%, watch total PEG load
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Bacillus/Soybean/Folic Acid Ferment Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Citrus Grandis Seed Extract
- Grapefruit seed extract; botanical astringent and tonic, contains essential oils, monitor allergenicity, cautious for sensitive skin.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Artemisia Princeps Extract
- Artemisia extract, soothing and repair; 0.1–1% typical, data limited, low risk
- Ppg-26-Buteth-26
- Not decoded yet
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
- Palmitoyl oligopeptide for firming; water-soluble bioactive peptide, avoid high heat, functional additive.
