Formulation Deep Dive

Experiment's Super Saturated is formulated as a high-performance humectant-dense face serum designed for intensive hydration and barrier support. The carrier system utilizes a concentrated humectant complex of glycerin, propanediol, and diglycerin to achieve a "saturated" skin feel and prolonged moisture retention. The active strategy features Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for barrier optimization and sebum regulation, Polyglutamic Acid for its superior water-binding capacity, and Bisabolol paired with Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract to provide potent anti-inflammatory benefits. The formula is structured with Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 and Sodium Polyacrylate to create a stable, elegant rheology, while utilizing a traditional preservative system of Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, and Ethylparaben to ensure microbiological integrity in a high-water-activity environment.
