Formulation Deep Dive

Naturium’s Multi-Peptide Advanced Serum is engineered as a high-performance, water-based emulsion designed to address advanced signs of aging through a sophisticated delivery of peptides and antioxidants. The carrier system utilizes a blend of aqua, propanediol, and squalane to ensure a nourishing yet lightweight texture, supported by plant-derived esters like ethylhexyl polyhydroxystearate and emollients such as Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter. The active performance is driven by a synergistic complex of acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), copper palmitoyl heptapeptide-14, and palmitoyl sh-hexapeptide-13 serine SP amide, which work alongside hydrolyzed collagen and ferulic acid to promote structural resilience and neutralize oxidative stress. To ensure the stability of these sensitive actives, the formula utilizes a robust emulsification and thickening network featuring glyceryl stearate citrate, polyglyceryl-3 stearate, and xanthan gum, while maintaining integrity through a clean-label preservative system of sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, and phenoxyethanol.
