Formulation view An oil-in-water cream using glycerin for hydration and sweet almond oil for emollience, with herbal extracts for aroma and conditioning. Emulsification relies on glyceryl stearate and cetearyl alcohol. Alcohol is added for dissolution and quick drying, plus mineral exfoliants. From a formulator's view, alcohol evaporation may dehydrate skin, requiring adequate occlusives. Rose essential oils contain allergens needing IFRA limits; wheat protein hydrolysate may cause allergies, so caution is advised for sensitized individuals.
