Ingredients for Hydrating, Non-Greasy Serum

Ingredients for a Hydrating but Non-Greasy Serum

To create a facial serum that focuses on hydration without adding oiliness, you can choose ingredients from the Humectant group, which are known for their excellent moisturizing properties without leaving a sticky or greasy feel on the skin.

Recommended ingredients include:

• UltraMild Aquaporin™ (Glyceryl Glucoside, Low-Sticky): This is a special grade of Glyceryl Glucoside that effectively helps maintain skin moisture and is less sticky than conventional Glyceryl Glucoside. It helps keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.
  • Recommended usage rate: 0.5-3%
• Diglycerin (90%, Colorless): A humectant with better moisture retention efficiency than Glycerin.
  • Recommended usage rate: 1-20%
• TransMoist™ (PPG-24-Glycereth-24): Helps increase skin moisture and aids in faster absorption of ingredients into the skin, giving the formula a less sticky feel.
  • Recommended usage rate: 1-10% (2% is recommended)
• Glass Moist™ (Oil-Free Glass Skin, 3 Day Fast Action): A pre-mixed ingredient designed to help achieve "Glass Skin" (dewy but not oily). It is oil-free, making it suitable for oily skin types who need hydration without clogged pores.
  • Recommended usage rate: 1-20% (15% is recommended for quick results)

You can use these ingredients individually or combine them in your serum formulation. These ingredients should be dissolved in the water phase of your formula.
