Formulation Deep Dive

TULA’s H₂Oasis™ is formulated as a high-performance hydrating face mask designed to deliver multi-depth moisture replenishment and barrier support through a complex aqueous delivery system. The carrier base utilizes a high concentration of Glycerin and Pentylene Glycol paired with a multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid complex, including Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, to ensure sustained hydration across different epidermal layers. The formula’s active efficacy is driven by a synergistic microbiome-balancing blend of Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Lactobacillus, which works alongside Alpha-Arbutin for brightening and Ceramide NP to reinforce the lipid barrier. Stability and texture are managed through a Carbomer-based rheology modifier and a neutralization system of Sodium Hydroxide and Sodium Citrate, while the preservation strategy relies on a combination of Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and 1,2-Hexanediol to ensure broad-spectrum microbial control.
