Formulation view An overnight moisturizing mask based on water and glycerin, containing silicone and various plant butters for occlusive hydration. Trehalose and marine extracts are added to enhance stability and antioxidant protection. Suitable for intensive night care for dry skin. From a factory perspective, the complex oil phase requires precise emulsification; trehalose can protect active protein structures, but hygroscopic clumping must be prevented to ensure product uniformity.

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Glycerin

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

Cetyl Alcohol

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Glyceryl Polymethacrylate

Acrylate polymer for high viscosity, film formation, and conditioning feel. Synthetic polymer, low irritancy.

Butyrospermum Parkii

African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Peg-8

Water-soluble solvent and humectant; dissolves oil-solubles, tacky if overused.

Glycereth-26

Glycereth-26, humectant/viscosity modifier at 1–5%; non-ionic water-soluble, boosts stability and feel.

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Sorbitan Stearate

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

Peg-100 Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Hypnea Musciformis Extract

Brown algae polysaccharide extract; film-forming and moisturizing at 0.1–1%; add to water phase, watch allergens

Gelidiella Acerosa Extract

Gelidiella acerosa (seaweed) extract; complex matrix, screen for heavy metals

Olea Europaea Fruit Extract

Olea europaea fruit extract rich in polyphenols for antioxidant and conditioning use; add preservative/antioxidant against oxidation.

Triticum Vulgare Extract

Wheat extract for skin conditioning and moisture; contains gluten proteins, assess concentration for sensitive skin.

Cladosiphon Okamuranus Extract

Cladosiphon okamuranus extract containing polysaccharides, used for moisturizing and skin conditioning

Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter

Plant oil for emollience and conditioning; high lipid content, pair with emulsifiers

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water

Aloe juice, humectant and fragrance; perishable, requires preservatives, prone to browning.

Peg-75

PEG-based emulsifier for O/W systems; used at 1–5%; PEGs may increase skin permeability, caution for sensitive skin

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Pantethine

Panthenine, lipophilic vitamin B derivative convertible to pantothenic acid, used for hair and skin conditioning

Sorbitol

Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Oryzanol

Rice-bran antioxidant for skin conditioning and sebum balance

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

Panthenol

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

Phytosterols

Plant sterol mix for skin barrier repair and soothing; plant-derived, no reported sensitization.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Potassium Hydroxide

Strong alkali pH adjuster, trace usage (<0.1%); corrosive, must be neutralized.

Dextrin

Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow

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

Red 4

Synthetic dye for coloration; use within legal limits.

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.
