Formulation view Water-based serum featuring glycerin, pentylene glycol, and jojoba/sunflower oils. Key actives include multi-weight HA, ceramide NP, niacinamide, and peptides. It relies on polyols for preservation without traditional agents. Suitable for sensitive or dry eye areas seeking barrier repair. From a factory view, the multi-weight HA system requires strict water activity control, and lipid-soluble actives must be balanced to maintain emulsion stability and prevent separation.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Glycerin

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Polyglyceryl-10 Distearate

Non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and emolliency; moderate comedogenic risk, limit in oily skin formulations

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein

Hydrolyzed lupine protein; negatively charged for antistatic effects in hair and skin conditioning, plant-derived with low allergenicity.

Medicago Sativa Seed Extract

Alfalfa seed extract with proteins/saponins for skin conditioning; check pH stability in formulation.

Alkanna Tinctoria Root Extract

Alkanna tinctoria root extract for natural color/conditioning; monitor batch-to-batch color variance.

Ceramide NP

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

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for repair; requires lipid carrier, unstable in aqueous phase

Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Signal peptide promoting collagen synthesis; effective at low concentration, needs penetration enhancers or encapsulation

Oligopeptide-1

Synthetic peptide for skin repair; small size allows permeation, limited clinical data.

Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate

Acetylated HA; modified for hydrophobicity, improved penetration and non-tacky feel compared to standard HA.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer

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

Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate

Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid derivative with better penetration and strong hydration; different molecular weights provide hydration at various depths, typical concentration 0.1-1%.

Niacinamide

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

Phytonadione Epoxide

Epoxide derivative of vitamin K3, used as astringent and skin protector, low irritancy.

Triolein

Triolein (glyceryl trioleate), liquid emollient; greasy, prone to rancidity, store cool with antioxidants.

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Mannitol

Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation

Pullulan

Microbial polysaccharide for film forming and thickening; water-soluble film former used in capsules or moisturizing films.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Beta-Sitosterol

Plant sterol for emulsion stability and barrier support; high levels may destabilize hydrophilic systems.

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Glyceryl Dioleate

Glyceryl dioleate, light plant-based ester emollient providing smooth feel; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.

Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; cetyl ester structure may irritate sensitive skin, use at 0.5-3%.

Ethylhexylglycerin

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

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Sclerotium Gum

Non-ionic gum for gels; neutral pH, requires dissolution via heating or fine milling

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Dipotassium Phosphate

Buffer, pH control, non-irritating, non-comedogenic.

Potassium Phosphate

pH adjuster for buffering systems; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium and magnesium ions

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Phosphatidylcholine

Biocompatible emulsifier mimicking sebum; plant/egg derived, check oxidative stability

Phenylpropanol

Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Decyl Glucoside

Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.

1,2- Hexanediol

Humectant and preservative booster with light feel; commonly used at 1-3%.

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
