Formulation Deep Dive

IT Cosmetics' Confidence in a Cream Anti-Aging Hydrating Moisturizer is formulated as a high-performance oil-in-water emulsion designed for intensive barrier repair and skin rejuvenation. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated blend of glycerin, squalane, and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter (Shea Butter) to provide a rich, occlusive texture while Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid offer gentle enzymatic exfoliation and tone correction. The active performance is driven by a synergistic combination of Ceramide NP for lipid replenishment, Sodium Hyaluronate for multi-depth hydration, and a peptide complex featuring Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 to stimulate collagen synthesis and improve elasticity. The formula is stabilized with a robust polymer network including Sodium Polyacrylate and Carbomer, utilizing a preservation system of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin to maintain the integrity of the botanical and peptide-rich matrix.
