Formulation view Sleeping mask with silicone and light ester occlusion. Tremella polysaccharides and hyaluronic acid boost hydration, aided by avocado oil. Gel texture regulated by polymers. Preserved with phenoxylethanol. Ideal for dry skin overnight. Formulator note: Silicone occlusion enhances retention, but tremella stability requires precise pH and ionic strength management.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua Water)
- Solvent; base medium for formulations.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Betaine
- Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer
- Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Tremella Fuciformis Extract
- Tremella extract; rich in polysaccharides, strong humectant that absorbs significant water, low irritation
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- T-Butyl Alcohol
- Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage
- PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate
- W/O emulsifier for fatty acids; contains PEG, verify preservative compatibility.
- Trideceth-6
- Not decoded yet
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
