How We Made Our Best-Selling Sunlight Serum So Light

best serum for glowing skin

Creating our best-selling Sunlight Serum was no easy feat. It involved meticulous formulation to ensure a light, non-greasy texture perfect for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin. We also could not compromise on hydration,  and giving you that signature summer glow all year round. The results speak for themselves, and our customers love how it makes their skin look and feel Here's how we did it:

Light Esters for a Non-Greasy Feel

We used light esters, that mimic natural oils but are much lighter. An ester is a compound formed from the reaction between an alcohol and an acid via the elimination of water. These esters provide hydration without the greasy residue, making the serum feel weightless on the skin.

Comparing Different Types of Oils

To achieve the ideal texture, we compared various oils, taking into consideration how they felt on the skin, how much hydration they could provide, and even how they would work with makeup. Heavier oils like coconut oil were avoided, while lighter oils like jojoba and squalane were chosen for their superior absorption and non-greasy finish.

Lightweight oils play a crucial role in making our serum feel airy and non-greasy. Oils such as jojoba and squalane are particularly beneficial

    • Jojoba Oil:Similar to the skin's natural sebum, it provides moisture without clogging pores.
    • Squalane: Known for its exceptional absorption and lightweight feel, squalane leaves the skin smooth and hydrated without a heavy residue.

      Oil-Soluble Actives

      Incorporating oil-soluble active ingredients ensured the serum could deliver potent benefits without compromising its lightweight nature. Ingredients like Vitamin E and Saffron were chosen for their ability to blend seamlessly into the formula. It was important to us to include skin-loving ingredients that would work to improve your skin health and texture with each use.

      Non-Comedogenic Formulation

      We ensured the serum is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores. This was achieved by selecting oils with low comedogenic ratings and testing the final product rigorously. We even received high ratings from our product testers with oily skin, noting that the serum gave them a light, effortless glow. The current formulation for Sunlight Serum came out on top as our best serum for glowing skin, and we could not wait to share it with you.

      To make the serum safe for all skin types, we avoided common irritants and allergens. The formulation was dermatologically tested to ensure it’s gentle enough even for sensitive skin.

      Perfect for Summer Use

      The lightweight nature of the Sunlight Serum makes it ideal for summer. It absorbs quickly, leaving the skin hydrated without a greasy feel, and works well under sunscreen and makeup. Additionally, we ensured to add a number of protective ingredients, like Ashwagandha and Holy Basil, that work to form a robust defense against sun damage and environmental stressors.

      Understanding Oil Polarity

      Oil polarity was a crucial factor in our formulation. Oils with a higher polarity, like squalane, were selected because they are more compatible with the skin's natural sebum, enhancing absorption and ensuring a smooth, non-greasy application.

      Conclusion

      Our best-selling Sunlight Serum was crafted with care, using light esters, non-comedogenic oils, and oil-soluble actives to create a product that is perfect for all skin types and tones. It provides the ultimate balance of hydration and lightness, ensuring your skin stays radiant and comfortable.
