Formulation view Water-based serum featuring glutathione, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and panthenol for brightening and repair. Includes amino acids and botanicals. Preserved with ethylhexylglycerin. Suitable for uneven tone and dry skin. Factory view: Glutathione is photosensitive, requiring light-protective packaging and antioxidants; stability of the niacinamide/tranexamic acid combo must be monitored to prevent pH shifts from degradation products.

- Cysteine
- Cysteine reducing agent at 1–5% for waving; acidic amino acid, sulfur odor possible, pH buffering needed
- Glycine
- Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; small molecule, low irritation.
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
