Formulation Deep Dive

The Green Tea Ceramide Milk by innisfree is a high-performance, water-based milky toner engineered for rapid hydration and skin barrier reinforcement. The formulation utilizes a sophisticated aqueous carrier system structured around Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and Propanediol to maximize humectancy, while Hydrogenated Rice Bran Oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride provide a lightweight emollient phase for a non-greasy, "milk" texture. Active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for barrier support, Ceramide NP to replenish essential lipids, and multiple molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid for multi-level moisture retention. This complex is further enhanced by Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil (Green Tea Seed Oil) and Phytosterols to soothe and protect the skin's surface. Stability is achieved through a robust polymer network featuring Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, and Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, while the formula is preserved with a clean-label system of 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and Glyceryl Caprylate.
