Formulation view High-moisture essence using glycerin, butylene glycol, and polyols for strong humectancy, combined with multi-weight hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed collagen. Ideal for dry or dehydrated skin. Factory observation: Rheology relies on hydroxyethyl cellulose, which is ion-sensitive. Strict control of EDTA and pH buffers is essential to prevent viscosity loss during storage.

Ingredients explained
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Linum Usitatissimum Seed Extract
- Flaxseed extract for moisture and natural aroma; contains oleic acid with moderate comedogenicity, limit levels for oily skin.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies
- Rhus Semialata Gall Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Gynostemma Pentaphyllum Leaf Stem Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Zostera Marina Extract
- Seaweed extract for skin conditioning; botanical, patch test advised for sensitive skin
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Sodium Citrate
- Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.
- Saccharide Isomerate
- Novel polyol humectant with skin feel improvement; high hydration, suitable for lightweight formulas.
- Hydrolyzed Algin
- Hydrolyzed algin, water-soluble film former; boosts moisture retention, low viscosity contribution
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
