Formulation Deep Dive

The Longevity Serum by Tatcha is engineered as a high-performance, water-based anti-aging serum designed to enhance skin resilience and address inflammaging. The formulation utilizes a sophisticated aqueous carrier system driven by a high concentration of humectants, specifically Dipropylene Glycol, Propanediol, and Glycerin, to ensure deep hydration and optimal ingredient penetration. The texture is further refined using a blend of silicones and esters, such as Peg-10 Dimethicone and Caprylyl Methicone, which provide a silky, lightweight finish without occlusive weight. Active performance is anchored by a synergistic complex including Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate (Hadasei-3) for nutrient delivery, Squalane for lipid barrier reinforcement, and Bidens Pilosa Extract as a botanical alternative to target visible fine lines. These actives work alongside Alpinia Speciosa (Shell Ginger) Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract to provide robust antioxidant protection and cellular support. The formula is stabilized through a structural polymer network of Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer and Cellulose Gum, ensuring uniform suspension of botanical oils, while preservation is managed through a clean-label strategy utilizing Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin.
