Formulation Deep Dive

OLEHENRIKSEN’s Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Stick is formulated as a high-performance color-correcting treatment stick designed to provide immediate optical neutralization and long-term brightening for the delicate eye area. The carrier system is a structured anhydrous-to-aqueous hybrid utilizing Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax), and Synthetic Wax to provide a smooth, controlled glide, while Propanediol and Glycerin ensure humectant-driven hydration within the film. The formulation’s corrective efficacy is driven by a dual-action vitamin C complex featuring 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate for lipid-soluble and water-stable antioxidant protection, bolstered by Caffeine to address periorbital edema and Poncirus Trifoliata Fruit Extract for enhanced skin-tone clarity. The system is stabilized through a sophisticated emulsifying network of Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate and Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, while the immediate color-correcting performance is achieved through a precise dispersion of Mica, Tin Oxide, and Iron Oxides. Product integrity is maintained through a combination of Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and Sodium Phytate to ensure microbial stability and chelation.
