Formulation view Water and glycerin base with cyclic siloxanes and squalane forming a light occlusive layer. Mimics sebum barrier with esters; contains allantoin for soothing. Preserved with methylparaben. Suited for dry or combination skin seeking lightweight hydration. Formulator view: Volatile siloxanes and light esters reduce greasiness while biomimetic lipids maintain barrier integrity, a classic design for non-greasy moisturizing.
