Hydrating Skin Serum – Deep Moisture + Vitamin E Barrier Support
Product information:
Key Ingredients & Benefits
Our formulation contains a thoughtfully selected blend of ingredients designed to hydrate, support the skin barrier, and promote a smooth, comfortable complexion. Below, we break down each component so you and your customers can understand what’s inside and why it matters.
Glycerol (also known as glycerin)
This moisturizing powerhouse is a humectant, meaning it draws water into the skin and helps maintain hydration. Studies show glycerol penetrates the outer layer of the skin (the stratum corneum) and forms a “reservoir” of moisture, helping to smooth rough patches and improve overall barrier function. (Typology Paris)
By supporting the skin’s natural defenses, glycerol can help reduce the appearance of dryness, flaking, and fine lines. (Good Housekeeping)
Benefit: deep-moisture support, improved texture, enhanced skin resiliency.
Butanediol
Working as both a humectant and solvent, 1,3-butanediol (a form of butanediol) helps the formula absorb well, enhances spreadability, and boosts hydration. (Skincare Lab) Because it helps other active ingredients dissolve and deliver more evenly, it contributes to a smoother feel and improved performance.
Benefit: improves formula texture, enhances skin hydration, supports ingredient delivery.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Derived from castor oil and modified via hydrogenation, this ingredient acts as an emollient and thickening agent. It creates a light protective film on the skin’s surface that locks in moisture and helps smooth the skin. (Olive Tree People) Because it has a low comedogenic rating (meaning low likelihood of clogging pores) it’s suitable for many skin types. (Skincare Lab)
Benefit: silky texture, moisture-seal barrier, non-heavy finish.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Tocopherol is a potent antioxidant that protects skin lipids from oxidation caused by UV exposure, pollution and other external stressors. (Wellbeing Nutrition) It supports the skin’s barrier, helps reduce redness and inflammation, and contributes to a smoother and more even look. (Natural Escapes)
Benefit: antioxidant defence, barrier reinforcement, skin-soothing effect.
Platthana Oil
While there is limited publicly available detailed research on “platthana oil” under that specific name, it appears in formulations as a nourishing botanical oil used for skin and hair care (see hair-care product listings). (Gift Tree) Within our formula it serves as a natural emollient oil that complements the other actives—helping maintain suppleness, improving feel on skin, and enhancing the overall sensory experience.
Benefit: plant-based emollient, supports skin’s comfort and softness.
Overall Formulation Summary
Together, these ingredients deliver hydration (via glycerol and butanediol), emollience and barrier support (via hydrogenated castor oil and platthana oil), and antioxidant protection (via tocopherol). The result is a product that helps your skin look and feel smoother, healthier and more comfortable.
Usage & Skin Suitability
-
Ideal for skin that feels dry, tight or in need of hydration and smoothing.
-
Because the formula uses low-comedogenic emollients and humectants, it is suitable for many skin types (including those sensitive to heavier oils).
-
As with any skincare product: patch test first. While each ingredient is generally well-tolerated, individual sensitivities may occur (for example, some individuals may react to tocopherol or botanical oils). (Reddit)
-
Use as the final step of your skincare routine (or as directed) to lock in moisture and deliver nourishment.
Final Note
This carefully balanced blend of science-backed humectants and plant-derived emollients offers more than just surface hydration—it's designed to support the skin’s natural barrier, protect against oxidative stress, and leave the skin feeling soft, smooth and resilient.
