Formulation view Despite the 'serum' label, this is a solid soap base composed of sodium palmate and palm kernelate, enhanced with glycerin and sweet almond oil for moisture. Titanium dioxide is included for opacity, while EDTA stabilizes the matrix. No conventional preservatives are listed, relying on the high pH environment of soap for microbial control. A factory observation notes that fragrance components like coumarin require stability testing in alkaline soap bases; users with sensitive skin should expect potential dryness due to high pH, recommending subsequent moisturizing care.
