Formulation view Leads with Saccharomyces ferment filtrate and polyols for hydration. Key actives include Niacinamide, Beta-Glucan, Sodium Hyaluronate, and various plant extracts. Carbomer and Hydroxyethylcellulose thicken, while Phenoxyethanol and Potassium Sorbate preserve. Ideal for oily or combination skin seeking oil control and brightening. Factory observation notes high Niacinamide concentration requires polyol buffering to minimize irritation.

Ingredients explained

Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate

Yeast ferment filtrate; humectant and conditioner. May contain peptides, prone to browning, protect from light.

Water

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

Methyl Gluceth-20

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Beta-Glucan

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation

Hydroxyethylcellulose

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

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Trideceth-10

Not decoded yet

Veronica Officinalis Extract

Veronica officinalis extract, soothing and anti-inflammatory; botanical extract, potential allergy in some individuals

Honey Extract

Humectant and skin conditioning agent; hygroscopic, sensitive to pH.

Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract

Ascophyllum nodosum extract, provides hydration and antioxidant protection; usually low concentration as natural functional additive.

Saussurea Involucrata Extract

Botanical humectant for skin hydration; used at low levels, monitor batch stability and impurities.

Melissa Officinalis Leaf Extract

Lemon balm extract for soothing; volatile oils, low allergy risk, light sensitive.

Malva Sylvestris Extract

Malva sylvestris extract, soothing astringent; polysaccharide-rich, low irritancy, check solvent residues.

Ribes Nigrum Fruit Extract

Fruit extract offering emollience, astringency, and subtle scenting in leave-on and rinse-off formulas.

Achillea Millefolium Extract

Yarrow extract; chrysogenic content for soothing; contains essential oil components, assess phototoxicity and allergens

Alchemilla Vulgaris Extract

Lady's mantle extract; botanical astringent, used in skin care and soothing formulas, low concentration.

Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent

Illicium Verum Fruit Extract

Star anise extract with anethole; fragrant and conditioning, allergen present, high levels risk sensitivity.

Mentha Piperita Leaf Extract

Mint extract for cooling sensation; contains menthol, mild irritation potential.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Tromethamine

pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
