Formulation Deep Dive
Ole Henriksen's Truth Serum is formulated as a high-performance water-based brightening serum designed to deliver stable antioxidant protection and hydration. The carrier system utilizes a base of water and glycerin to provide a lightweight, humectant-rich texture that facilitates the delivery of water-soluble actives. The formulation strategy centers on a synergistic antioxidant complex featuring Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (a stable Vitamin C derivative) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E), combined with Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green Tea) and Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract (Orange) to target oxidative stress and enhance skin radiance. Additional humectancy and skin-soothing benefits are provided by Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera) and Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), while Saccharide Isomerate ensures long-lasting moisture binding. The system is stabilized with the pH-buffering properties of the extracts and utilizes a preservation blend of Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin to ensure microbiological stability.
