Formulation Deep Dive

OLEHENRIKSEN’s Dewtopia 25% Acid Flash Facial Mask is engineered as a high-potency chemical exfoliant treatment designed to rapidly resurface the stratum corneum and improve skin luminosity. The carrier system is built on a soothing base of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) and Propanediol, which serves as both a solvent and humectant to mitigate the potential irritation associated with high-percentage acid delivery. The formulation's efficacy is driven by a synergistic multi-acid complex: Gluconolactone (PHA) and Glycolic Acid (AHA) work to dissolve desmosomal bonds for retexturization, while Salicylic Acid (BHA) provides lipophilic penetration to clear follicular debris, and Sodium Hyaluronate ensures deep-tissue hydration during the exfoliation process. The emulsion is stabilized by a sophisticated rheology network of Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer and Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, providing a cushiony, high-viscosity texture. The preservation system utilizes a combination of Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and Sodium Benzoate to ensure broad-spectrum microbial stability.
