Formulation view O/W lotion using Urea, Glycerin, and amino acids to mimic NMF for intense hydration, Ceramide 3 for barrier repair, and Cyclopentasiloxane for feel. Sheer esters balance richness with Shea Butter. Suitable for dry, damaged, or eczema-prone skin for daily repair. Factory insight: NMF components synergize with lipid repairers, but Urea-rich formulas face stability challenges in high-salt systems, requiring careful emulsifier selection adjustments.

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

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Glyceryl Glucoside

Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin

Cyclomethicone

Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Tapioca Starch

Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc

Glyceryl Stearate Se

Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.

Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides

Hydrog coco glycerides; waxy emollient; low irrit, low-mid comed, occlusive option

L-Carnitine

Not decoded yet

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Sodium Pca

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Arginine Hcl

Amphoteric amino acid salt, moisturizer and buffer; high levels may irritate sensitive skin.

Serine

Humectant amino acid, 1–3%; high water solubility, compatible with sensitive skin.

Alanine

Amino acid for antistatic and conditioning; low irritation, slight salty taste at high levels

Histidine

Amino acid humectant and antistatic agent; pH-dependent behavior, consider buffering in formulation.

Citrulline

Citrulline amino-acid derivative, moisturizing; 1–5%, water-soluble, pairs well with HA.

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Dimethiconol

Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.

Glycogen

Animal-derived polysaccharide humectant; 1–5% for skin feel and softness, verify source and purity, low allergy risk.

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Glutamic Acid

Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.

Threonine

Threonine, essential amino acid for hair/skin; blended with other AAs for balance.

Chondrus Crispus Extract

Carrageenan for thickening and moisturizing; seaweed-based, pH-sensitive

Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate

Anionic surfactant with strong foaming and cleansing power; milder than SLS but can still irritate dry skin.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
