Formulation view Oil-in-water cream using safflower and hemp seed oils for moisture, with panthenol and vitamin E for repair. Key active is ascorbyl phosphate sodium, requiring light protection. Emulsified with cetearyl alcohol and glucosides for gentle stability. Preserved with benzyl alcohol and sorbate. Suitable for antioxidant-focused routines. Formulators note the plant oils are prone to oxidation, relying on vitamin E; moisture retention depends on lipid sealing, with fragrant oils added for sensory appeal.
