Korean Rice Peel Formulation
Is there a possibility to replicate Dr. Melaxin’s Peel Shot product? It consists of 42 ingredients!

What are the ingredients?
You’ll likely get better/more responses if you include the list of ingredients. But yes, it’s possible to replicate any product on the market. Also, no you don’t have to include all 42 ingredients to do it.

If something has that many ingredients is likely claim based and you may not need most of it. One of my favorite products was dermalogicas rice exfoliating mask. It was brilliant. I wish I could dupe it.

The short simple answer is: yes, of course. Start with oryza sativa bran extract or ferment, then proceed from there. The longer answer lies in the other two comments.

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Water(640,000Ppm), Dipropylene Glycol, Water, Tripropylene Glycol, Cellulose, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Carbomer, Steartrimonium Methosulfate, Glycerin, Saccharide Isomerate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Glycereth-25 Pca Isostearate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Squalane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sucrose Distearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract, Hydrolyzed Malt Extract, Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Coptis Japonica Root Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Dextrin, Arbutin, Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid
Checking the ingredients, yes it’s easy to replicate, even for better. I wouldn’t use Sodium Citrate/Citric acid buffer for this cationic system.
To give you an idea briefly, it’s mostly composed of:
LOTS OF Glycols as humectants: DPG, Tripropylene Glycol, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, 1,2 Hexanediol.
They’re hydrating the skin by attracting water without feeling tacky or sticky. Plus they boost the preservation system. One or two would be enough. (I’d pick Propanediol and 1,2 Hexanediol, first at 3% and the latter at 1%)
+ A touch of good old glycerin makes sense in the formulation. Keep it. (At 1% or less)
Then a number of different light and medium spreading fatty esters and hydrocarbons, usually marketed as “oil-free” lipids or dry oils as they don’t feel heavy and act as great emollients (skin-smoothing):
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride.
I’d go with Ethylhexyl Palmitate if cost is an issue, if not MCT (Capric/Caprylic Triglyceride) and Squalane combo is OK at 2-5%
Emulsifiers: Steartrimonium Methosulfate, Glycereth-25 Pca Isostearate, Sucrose Distearate, Hydrogenated Lecithin.
The main one is the cationic (Steartrimonium Methosulfate) that gives you the cushion-y, silky feeling. The others are non-ionic co-emulsifiers. Use good old Behentrimonium Methosulfate (or Behentrimonium Chloride) at 1-2% and very little Ceteareth-20 to stabilize it.
Thickeners/Rheology modifiers: Cellulose, Carbomer.
Actives: Niacinamide, Gluconolactone, Salicylic acid, Arbutin, Sodium Hyraluronate, Hyraluronic acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid.
I’d only keep the first three. The others are mostly claim ingredients.
Preservatives/Chelants: Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Gluconolactone (again, as the chelant)
This could be duped with 10-12 ingredients only.
