Formulation Deep Dive

The Kopari Beauty Ultra Renewal Retinol Body Cream is a high-performance, water-based emulsion designed to deliver anti-aging actives in a gentle, body-appropriate format. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated blend of Isopropyl Myristate and Glycerin with fatty alcohols (Cetyl and Cetearyl Alcohol) to create a lightweight, silky texture that facilitates rapid absorption without greasy residue. Active performance is driven by Retinol for cellular turnover, which is synergistically paired with Aminobutyric Acid to support skin firmness and Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) Fruit Extract for antioxidant protection. The formulation is stabilized through a robust Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 network and utilizes a preservation strategy comprising Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin, while Sodium Hydroxide and Citric Acid are employed for precise pH optimization to maintain Retinol stability.
