Formulation view Featuring Bifida and yeast filtrates, plus various fermentates and plant extracts, with niacinamide and peptides. It offers repair and brightening in a lightweight texture, suitable for all skin types. Factory observation: Fermentates are prone to browning and pH fluctuations, requiring antioxidants and light control; the silicone system provides smoothness but must comply with environmental regulations on cyclic silicones.

Ingredients explained

Bifida Ferment Lysate

Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin

Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate

Yeast ferment filtrate; humectant and conditioner. May contain peptides, prone to browning, protect from light.

Betula Alba Juice

Not decoded yet

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Rice Ferment Filtrate

Contains amino acids/sugars; improves feel and hydration; fermentation byproducts may cause allergy.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Aspergillus Ferment

Aspergillus ferment extract; skin conditioner rich in polysaccharides; potential allergen, buffer formulation

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Polyacrylate-13

Not decoded yet

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Polyisobutene

Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks

Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate

PEG-modified nonionic surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; contains PEG, monitor dioxane, low comedogenicity.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Cetearyl Olivate

Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

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.

Lactobacillus

Lactobacillus derivatives for skin conditioning; verify fermentation purity and safety.

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Sodium Polyacrylate

Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Tropolone

Natural phenolic compound used as a skin conditioner; strong antioxidant activity, often a fragrance alternative.

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract

Pichia and resveratrol ferment extract for antioxidant and brightening effects; fermentation enhances stability of active ingredients.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Ubiquinone

Coenzyme Q10 analog used as an antioxidant; prone to discoloration, needs protection from light and air.

Thioctic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid; potent antioxidant; poor water solubility, often used as ester derivatives

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Disodium Edta

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
