Formulation Deep Dive
Dieux's Instant Angel is formulated as a high-performance barrier repair moisturizer designed to mimic the skin's natural lipid structure. The base utilizes a sophisticated emollient system of caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane, and coconut alkanes, supported by meadowfoam estolide and phytosteryl macadamiate to provide a rich, biomimetic skin feel without occlusive heaviness. The active strategy centers on a synergistic blend of dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, ceramide NG, and linoleic acid to reinforce the stratum corneum, while urea and sodium PCA act as natural moisturizing factors (NMF) to enhance hydration. To support skin elasticity and repair, the formula incorporates palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 and sodium hyaluronate. The emulsion is stabilized through a robust network of sodium polyacrylate and a castor oil/IPDI copolymer, utilizing phenoxyethanol and sodium phytate for a reliable preservation system.
