Formulation view O/W emulsion system with glycerin, propylene glycol, and anhydroxylitol forming a strong hydration matrix. Includes hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, panthenol for repair, and sunflower seed oil. Uses acrylic polymer for thickening and phenoxyethanol for preservation. Lightweight texture suitable for daily hydration of dry or combination skin. Factory observation notes strong hygroscopicity of polyol system, requiring seasonal adaptability to avoid sticky feel in high humidity.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isopropyl Palmitate
- Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Hexyldecanol
- Lightweight synthetic ester; provides non-greasy feel, fast-drying, low irritation
- Hexyldecyl Laurate
- Hexyldeyl laurate, light emollient ester; low comedogenicity.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Anhydroxylitol
- Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.
- Globularia Alypum Leaf Extract
- Yellow globularia leaf extract for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects; monitor plant toxins.
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Glyceryl Citrate/Lactate/Linoleate/Oleate
- Multi-glyceride emulsifier system for gentle emulsification; unsaturated esters prone to oxidation
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Pantolactone
- Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Polyglyceryl-3 Caprate
- Polyglyceryl-3 caprate, mild emulsifier and thickener. Low irritation; often needs co-emulsifiers.
- Polyglyceryl-4 Cocoate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient, low irritancy, for cleansing and care
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Xylitylglucoside
- Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.
