Formulation view Lotion-texture serum with hot spring water base. Multiple ferment filtrates and prebiotics regulate the microbiome. Six ceramides and cholesterol mimic skin lipids to repair the barrier. Cross-linked sodium hyaluronate provides long-lasting hydration. 1,2-hexanediol included for preservation. Suitable for damaged, dry, or sensitive skin. Note: Complete lipid combination with beta-glucan for soothing; spring water minerals require heavy metal checks.

Ingredients explained

Onsen-Sui

Onsen hot spring water with minerals; mineral content varies, verify heavy metal levels.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Glycereth -26

Not decoded yet

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Bifida Ferment Filtrate

Ferment filtrate with prebiotics/metabolites for conditioning; high sterility requirements.

Sambucus Nigra Flower Extract

Plant extract for soothing and toning; high levels of crude extracts may sensitize.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Inulin

Plant fiber/prebiotic for moisturizing; fully dissolve to avoid crystallization

Lactococcus Ferment

Not decoded yet

Lactobacillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment filtrate for conditioning; complex mix, check allergens and preservative residues

Beta-Glucan

Polysaccharide for soothing and hydration; high MW acts on the surface, poor penetration into deep dermis.

Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide

Prebiotic for microflora and smoothing; use 0.5-5%, suitable for sensitive skin

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

Crosslinked high-MW HA; forms surface hydrogel for long-lasting hydration, minimal penetration, physical film-forming.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root Extract

Licorice root; anti-inflammatory/whitening, contains glycyrrhizin, caution for pollen-allergic individuals.

Aspalathus Linearis Extract

Rooibos tea extract with high antioxidant capacity; soothing, no known irritation

Cetearyl Alcohol

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

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Ceramide NS

Ceramide NS for barrier repair; gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Ceramide AS

Ceramides for barrier repair; used at low levels with other lipids; beneficial for dry, compromised skin.

Hydroxyethylcellulose

Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Ceramide AP

Ceramide analog for barrier repair; best results when combined with cholesterol and free fatty acids

Ceramide EOP

Ceramide EOP, repairs skin barrier lipids; often blended with cholesterol and fatty acids.

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate

Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for moisturizing/soothing; inhibits 5-LOX, water-soluble, for sensitive skin.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Benzyl Glycol

Solvent and viscosity regulator; aids solubility of actives, slight preservative boost

Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate

Non-ionic emulsifier; biodegradable, compatibility with anionics requires check.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Arginine

Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Yucca Schidigera Root Extract

Yucca schidigera root extract, natural anti-inflammatory and skin conditioning

Commiphora Myrrha Resin Extract

Myrrh resin extract, anti-inflammatory/soothing; natural impurities, verify allergenicity and stability

Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract

Perilla leaf extract containing perillal, providing fragrance and mild soothing effects.
