Intense Hydration Serum
Intense Hydration Serum
A cold-process, manufacture-ready hydrating serum built around dual-weight Hyaluronic Acid, the skin-mimicking peptide SYN-AKE, and Pentavitin — a formula designed to feel like a premium, clinic-grade serum while staying simple enough to produce without heat-phase manufacturing.
You Own This Formula
When you purchase this formula, the intellectual property is yours. Unlike most private-label or white-label manufacturing relationships — where the manufacturer holds the formula and you're locked into using them — you can take this formula to any GMP-certified manufacturer, anywhere in the world, at any stage of your brand's growth.
This means if your manufacturer changes their pricing, minimum order quantities, or can no longer produce your product, your brand isn't at risk. You're never dependent on one supplier to keep making the product your customers know and trust. Owning your formula outright is rare and normally an expensive, custom development process. Here, it's built in.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
- Dual-Weight Sodium Hyaluronate — hydrates at both the surface and deeper skin layers for an immediate plumping effect and long-lasting dewy finish.
- Colloidal Oatmeal — a recognised skin-soothing ingredient that calms and supports the skin barrier, making this formula suitable even for sensitive or reactive skin.
- Centella Asiatica ("Cica") — a calming, barrier-repairing botanical with strong consumer recognition and trend relevance in skincare.
- SYN-AKE — a peptide developed to visibly soften the look of expression lines, giving the serum genuine anti-ageing positioning.
- Pentavitin — binds moisture to the skin for up to 72 hours, supporting long-lasting hydration between applications.
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 — targets the look of puffiness and under-eye fatigue, making this formula versatile enough to double as an eye-area treatment.
Texture & What to Expect
A lightweight, water-gel texture that absorbs quickly with no sticky residue — layers cleanly under moisturiser or makeup. The dual-weight Hyaluronic Acid gives an immediate plumping effect on application, while Pentavitin keeps skin feeling hydrated well beyond the first few hours.
Why This Formula
Developed by a qualified cosmetic chemist with hands-on formulation and manufacturing experience, built on proven, widely-used actives with published efficacy data — not assembled from generic templates.
Building a formula like this from scratch — sourcing the right actives, balancing percentages, testing phase compatibility, and writing a manufacture-ready process — typically takes a qualified chemist many hours of dedicated work, and commissioning custom formulation development independently can cost $2,500 or more. This formula gives you that same level of expertise, ready to take straight to your manufacturer, at a fraction of the cost and time.
Claims Substantiation
- SYN-AKE — clinically studied for its effect on the visible appearance of expression lines, developed by Lubrizol.
- Pentavitin — published data supports up to 72 hours of skin moisturisation from a single application, developed by DSM.
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 — associated with visible reduction in the look of under-eye puffiness in published ingredient studies.
This formula is built on proven, widely-used actives with established efficacy data, giving you a credible, science-backed foundation to bring to your manufacturer. As with any new formulation, we recommend Preservative Efficacy Testing (PET) and stability testing on your specific production batch — a standard step every brand takes before commercial launch.
This Formula Includes
- Full INCI ingredient list, in percentage order
- Exact percentages and phase breakdown
- Step-by-step cold-process manufacturing method

Ingredients are globally available, no region-restricted actives, so you can take this straight to any GMP-certified manufacturer, anywhere, and start production.
