Formulation Deep Dive
The Prickly Pear Peptide Mucin by Glow Recipe is a high-performance, water-based serum designed for intensive barrier repair and skin plumping through a vegan mucin alternative. The formulation utilizes a sophisticated aqueous carrier system dominated by Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract (Prickly Pear), supported by Propanediol and Butylene Glycol to enhance humectancy and facilitate the delivery of active compounds. The active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 for collagen support, Ectoin for stress protection and moisture retention, and Sodium Hyaluronate for multi-depth hydration. Stability and the unique mucin-like viscosity are achieved through Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, while a complex of botanical extracts including Scutellaria Baicalensis Root and Paeonia Suffruticosa Root provides antioxidant support alongside a preservation system managed by 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylyl Glycol.
