Formulation Deep Dive

The Air Angel Peptide Plumping Gel Cream by Dieux is engineered as a high-performance, humectant-dense hydrator designed to reinforce the skin barrier while providing a weightless finish. The formulation utilizes a sophisticated carrier system dominated by a high concentration of Glycerin and Propanediol for deep moisture retention, balanced by a silicone network of Dimethicone and Dimethicone Crosspolymer to ensure a silky, non-occlusive skin feel. Its active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 and Collagen Amino Acids to improve structural resilience, supported by Ceramide NG and Meadowfoam Estolide, which mimic natural lipid functions to mitigate trans-epidermal water loss. The complex is stabilized through a robust polymer network of Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer and Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, while preservation is managed via a broad-spectrum system including Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Hexylene Glycol.
