Aqua (Water):

• Function: Solvent. It acts as a base in the formulation, helping to dissolve other ingredients and deliver them to the skin.
• Benefit: Hydration support. Water also imparts a refreshing and hydrating feel to the skin.

Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6:

• Function: Thickening agent and stabilizer.
• Benefit: Gives the serum a gel-like texture, ensuring even application and creating a smooth finish. It can also aid in stabilizing emulsions, preventing ingredient separation.

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate:

• Function: Emulsifier and mild surfactant.
• Benefit: Helps mix oil and water-based ingredients, ensuring a stable formula. It can also provide gentle cleansing without stripping the skin.

Squalane:

• Function: Emollient and moisturizing agent.
• Benefit: Mimics the skin's natural oils, providing hydration, improving skin texture, and boosting the skin barrier. It's lightweight and non-greasy, making it ideal for all skin types.

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil:

• Function: Emollient.
• Benefit: Jojoba oil is very similar to the skin’s natural sebum, which helps to balance oil production, moisturize, and soften the skin without clogging pores.

Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP:

• Function: Skin-replenishing and barrier-repairing agents.
• Benefit: Ceramides are essential lipids naturally found in the skin. These specific ceramides work together to restore and maintain the skin's natural barrier, locking in moisture and protecting the skin from environmental damage. They are crucial for maintaining a healthy, hydrated, and resilient complexion.

Cholesterol:

• Function: Skin-conditioning agent.
• Benefit: Works synergistically with ceramides to support the skin’s barrier function and hydration levels, preventing moisture loss.

Phytosphingosine:

• Function: Skin-conditioning and antimicrobial agent.
• Benefit: A naturally occurring lipid that helps to restore the skin's protective barrier and has anti-inflammatory properties. It can also support the skin's natural defense mechanisms against bacteria.

Xanthan Gum:

• Function: Thickener and stabilizer.
• Benefit: Provides a smooth, spreadable consistency to the serum, ensuring even application. It also helps stabilize the formulation, preventing separation of ingredients.

Carbomer:

• Function: Thickener and gelling agent.
• Benefit: Gives the serum a gel-like consistency, which improves the texture and makes it easier to apply.

Phenoxyethanol:

• Function: Preservative.
• Benefit: Prevents the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi, ensuring the product remains safe and effective over time.
