Formulation view A tomato-themed hydrating mask featuring a water-polyol base with tomato extract for natural color and antioxidants. Hydration is driven by glycerin, betaine, and sodium hyaluronate, with thickening from carbomer and HEC. Preservation relies on 1,2-hexanediol, supplemented by dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for soothing. Suitable for all skin types for instant hydration. Formulators note the hydrogel texture balances active delivery with refreshment; the tomato pigments may cause slight transient tinting, which is a normal physical characteristic of the extract.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Butylene Glycol

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

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Glycerin

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

PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer

Non-ionic copolymer used as a solvent and emulsifier aid; PEG component may increase penetration

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract

Tomato extract; antioxidant and conditioner. Contains carotenoids; moderate photostability. Watch for color variance.

Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit/Leaf/Stem Extract

Not decoded yet

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Sodium Hyaluronate

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