Formulation view Aqueous base with cyclopentasiloxane, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, and niacinamide, emulsified by cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, and polysorbate 60. Includes sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid, and ergothioneine. Preserved with p-anisic acid and methylparaben. Silky texture for combination skin seeking radiance. Factory perspective: silicone and plant oil blending requires careful management of solubility and texture balance to avoid heaviness.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
- Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Sodium Pca
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Ethylhexyl Stearate
- Synthetic ester emollient and emulsifier; oil-soluble, light feel, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Hydrogenated Polydecene
- Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Sodium Carboxymethyl Betaglucan
- Not decoded yet
- Ergothioneine
- Ergothioneine, potent antioxidant; 0.01–0.1%, water-soluble, synergizes with Vit C/E.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Peg-75 Stearate
- PEG-75 stearate, non-ionic emulsifier/thickener; PEG-based, check for 1,4-dioxane limits, not used in some markets.
- P-Anisic Acid
- Fragrance/preservative booster; odorous, low usage, patch test recommended
- Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Steareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- High-molecular-weight thickener and emulsion stabilizer; requires electrolytes or acid adjustment near isoelectric point for optimal performance.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
