Formulation view Base of water and cyclopentasiloxane with glycerin, tapioca starch, and lactic acid. Thickened by xanthan gum, relying on low pH and glycerin for preservation. Refreshing feel for combination skin. Factory observation notes cyclopentasiloxane is subject to EU regulatory limits, requiring attention to 2026 compliance, and high lactic acid concentration demands strict pH control to prevent irritation.
