Formulation view An oil-in-water emulsion using light esters and algae extracts for a fresh finish, preserved with phenoxyethanol. Designed for oily or combination skin focusing on lightweight hydration. From a production standpoint, the inclusion of long-chain fatty acids requires careful dosage control to mitigate potential comedogenic risks.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Isostearyl Isostearate
- Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- Cetyl Behenate
- Not decoded yet
- Behenic Acid
- Behenic acid, emulsifier and thickener; high comedogenic rating, limit use on acne-prone skin.
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract
- Marine algae extract; antioxidant concept; monitor heavy metals and stability.
- Spirulina Maxima Extract
- Spirulina extract for smoothing and conditioning; verify stability with fragrances and UV light.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Potassium Hydroxide
- Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
