Formulation view A water-based matrix with panthenol and glycerols for hydration, stabilized by carbomer. Key actives include retinoid derivatives and caviar extract for antioxidant support, backed by plant extracts. The preservative system uses sodium benzoate and sorbate. Suitable for nightly repair routines, noting the stability challenges of retinol and potential photosensitizing risks from citrus extracts in the formula.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Retinol
- Highly active and unstable, needs robust antioxidant encapsulation; 0.1-1.0%, pregnancy contraindicated
- Caviar Extract
- Caviar extract; protein/lipid repair and antioxidant, animal-derived, manage odor and microbial load
- Paeonia Officinalis Flower Extract
- Paeonia officinalis flower extract; paeonol for soothing and microcirculation; water extract, gentle <5%
- Rosa Canina Fruit Extract
- Rich in Vit C and polyphenols, astringent; water-soluble, unstable, add at low temp.
- Arnica Montana Flower Extract
- Arnica extract; plant soothing/perfume alternative; low conc, potential sensitizer, patch test advised
- Citrus Limon Fruit Extract
- Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.
- Eleutherococcus Senticosus Root Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Retinyl Palmitate
- Vitamin A ester for skin conditioning; light-sensitive, requires protection, avoid in pregnancy.
- Collagen Amino Acids
- Hydrolyzed collagen peptides for hair and skin conditioning; low molecular weight aids moisturizing and conditioning, not direct collagen filling.
- Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
- Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Gold
- Gold in nano or microparticle form, for coloring and slip; usage restricted by regulations
- Lactose
- Low-irritant humectant and skin conditioner, common in gentle formulations.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Ci 77015
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Tricaprylin
- Ester oil used as solvent or fragrance carrier; lightweight feel, potential low sensitization
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Potassium Silicate
- Not decoded yet
- Aluminum Silicate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
