Formulation view Water-based serum relying on glycerol, xylitol, and multi-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid for intense hydration, textured with xanthan gum. Coffee extract adds antioxidant care, preserved by sodium benzoate and methylparaben. The oil-free formula is light. Best for dehydrated skin night care, requiring monitoring of humectant hygroscopicity to prevent reverse dehydration.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Xylitylglucoside
- Polyol humectant with high water absorption and fresh feel; often co-used with propylene glycol for enhanced hydration.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Coffea Arabica Seed Extract
- Coffee extract for skin conditioning/antioxidants; contains caffeine, watch sensitivity.
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Anhydroxylitol
- Anhydrous xylitol, potent humectant; high hygroscopicity may cause stickiness at high levels.
- Glucose
- Low-MW humectant and buffer; high hygroscopicity requires careful preservation and humidity control.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Salicylate
- Preservative (V/3 limit) and keratolytic aid; caution for sensitive skin and pregnancy.
