Formulation Deep Dive
Soft Services' Smoothing Solution is formulated as a high-performance exfoliating body serum designed to address skin texture and keratosis pilaris through a concentrated aqueous delivery system. The carrier base utilizes a high concentration of humectants, specifically urea and glycerin, to soften the keratinized skin layer while maintaining hydration. The active performance is driven by a synergistic blend of lactic acid for chemical exfoliation, sodium hyaluronate for deep moisture retention, and centella asiatica extract to mitigate potential irritation from the acid profile. The formula is stabilized with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and utilizes a preservative system of phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin to ensure microbiological stability in a low-pH environment.
