Formulation Deep Dive

Glossier’s Futuredew Oil Serum Hybrid is engineered as a high-viscosity oil-in-water emulsion designed to function as a long-wear radiance booster and skin-conditioning treatment. The carrier system utilizes a complex humectant and emollient base of glycerin, squalane, and isoamyl laurate, providing a controlled refractive index for a dewy finish while maintaining a non-comedogenic profile. The formulation's efficacy is driven by a lipid-dense botanical complex including Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil, and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil to reinforce the moisture barrier, alongside Sodium Hyaluronate for multi-depth hydration and Evodia Rutaecarpa Fruit Extract to enhance skin luminosity. The system is stabilized using a sophisticated rheology network of Disteardimonium Hectorite and Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, while optical performance is achieved through a precise blend of Mica, Tin Oxide, and Titanium Dioxide. Preservation and shelf-life are managed through a combination of 1,2-Hexanediol, hydroxyacetophenone, and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E).
