Highlights
Contains siliconesContains fragranceContains animal-derivedContains PEG
Formulation view Volatile siloxane carrier with water and glycerin for balance. Core actives include SOD and xanthophylls for radical scavenging, requiring light protection. Blended with small-molecule amino acids mimicking NMF for penetration and hydration. Contains algae and plant extracts for antioxidants, plus zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for physical UV defense. Suitable for sensitive skin daily protection; notable challenge is thermal stability of enzymatic actives.

- PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Not decoded yet
- Propanediol

- Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide
- Not decoded yet
- Solanum Lycopersicum Fruit Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Superoxide Dismutase
- Enzymatic antioxidant breaking down superoxide radicals; used as bioactive at low levels, requires strict temperature control to prevent inactivation.
- Xanthophylls
- Carotenoid derivative used primarily as antioxidant and pigment; aqueous forms are prone to oxidation and require light/air protection.
- Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Polygonum Aviculare Extract
- Not decoded yet

- Not decoded yet
- Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Alanine
- Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels
- Serine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.
- Valine
- Amino acid humectant, common in amino acid cleansers and sprays; mild, suitable for all skin types

- Threonine
- Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.
- Isoleucine
- Amino acid for hair and skin conditioning and antistatic purposes; often blended; check taste if high.
- Histidine
- Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.
