Formulation view An O/W emulsion combining Centella Asiatica extract and Niacinamide, stabilized by Tremella polysaccharide and hydrolyzed collagen. The preservation system utilizes 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin for mildness. Designed for daily moisturizing and soothing, suitable for combination skin. Formulator's note: High water-soluble actives require monitoring zeta potential to maintain gel network integrity.

Ingredients explained

Centella Asiatica Extract

Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Isopentyldiol

Solvent at 1–10%; helps dissolve actives, fresh feel

Glycerin

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract

Hydrolyzed collagen fragments claimed for skin protection, weak evidence, low usage levels

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.

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide

Tremella polysaccharide; high-hold humectant that forms a water-retaining film, low irritation

Sodium Guaiazulene Sulfonate

Blue anionic surfactant for cleansing and conditioning; water-soluble, rich foam, premium cost.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer

Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.

Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Arginine

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

Madecassoside

Triterpenoid glycoside with soothing, repairing, and antioxidant effects; typical concentration 0.1-1%, suitable for sensitive or compromised skin, good stability.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Sodium Dna

Water-soluble polymer for hydration and film feel; often claimed for repair support

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

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

Disodium EDTA

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

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.
