Hydrate+ Jello Moisturizer with Coconut Water & Hyaluronic Acid
A gel-texture daily moisturiser built around Saccharide Isomerate, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Panthenol for lightweight, non-greasy hydration. Saccharide Isomerate is a clinically studied NMF-mimicking ingredient with documented 72-hour water retention in finished-product trials, and its early placement in the formula is encouraging. The formula has two notable concerns: it contains fragrance (IFRA Certified Allergen-Free Fragrance) in a leave-on product, which is not prominently disclosed given the gentle and all-skin-types positioning, and it includes the synthetic azo dye CI 19140 (Tartrazine), associated with hypersensitivity reactions in some individuals. Coconut Water appears well down the ingredient list, playing a supporting rather than starring role despite being foregrounded in the product name.

The jello-gel texture is well-suited to India's climate, being light enough for humid summers and monsoons while providing sufficient moisture for drier environments. Saccharide Isomerate has documented ingredient-level evidence for 72-hour hydration, which is relevant for Indian skin facing frequent hard water exposure and sun-driven dehydration. However, the formula contains fragrance, which is a concern for India's allergy-prone population. CI 19140 (Tartrazine) sensitivity is reported in South Asian populations and is worth noting for consumers with known dye sensitivities. For fragrance-sensitive skin, a fragrance-free gel moisturiser would be a better fit.
This is a web evidence review, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of review.
At a glance
What was checked
Fair
What was checked
Saccharide Isomerate has ingredient-level clinical evidence for 72-hour moisture retention, but no finished-product clinical study linking this result specifically to this formula is publicly accessible.
Coconut Water appears well down the ingredient list, indicating it is present at a supporting rather than primary concentration, which does not align with the product name framing.
The formula contains fragrance in a leave-on product, which limits suitability for fragrance-sensitive skin; no patch test or HRIPT data is publicly accessible to support a broad all-skin-types claim.
No methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, or butylparaben appear in the published INCI list.
The breakdown
Public Evidence Score across 5 pillars. Open any row for the full rationale.
Ingredient SafetyStrong
The formula contains synthetic fragrance (IFRA Certified Allergen-Free Fragrance) in a leave-on product.
The formula contains synthetic fragrance (IFRA Certified Allergen-Free Fragrance) in a leave-on product. IFRA allergen-free certification is meaningful and reduces the pool of known sensitisers, but it does not eliminate all individual sensitisation risk, and any fragrance in a leave-on warrants flagging. CI 19140 (Tartrazine) is a synthetic azo dye associated with hypersensitivity and urticaria reactions in some people; it is banned in several markets for food use due to this profile. CI 42090 is a synthetic triarylmethane dye. Both dyes serve only a cosmetic colour purpose with no skin benefit. No parabens, no sulfates, no ethanol, no acids, no formaldehyde releasers. Saccharide Isomerate, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Panthenol are very well-tolerated ingredients.
Formula LogicStrong
The hydration stack is genuinely well-constructed.
The hydration stack is genuinely well-constructed. Saccharide Isomerate appears early in the formula, consistent with a working concentration, and has clinical backing for the 72-hour moisture retention claim. Sodium Hyaluronate provides surface moisture binding. Panthenol adds barrier repair depth beyond simple humectancy. Hydroxyethyl Urea and Glycerin round out the humectant system. The jello-gel texture is well-suited to Indian climate conditions. Coconut Water appears well down the ingredient list, confirming it is a supporting ingredient rather than the primary hydrating base the product name implies. Active concentrations are not disclosed publicly.
Claims EvidenceFair
The full INCI list is published on the brand website.
The full INCI list is published on the brand website. Saccharide Isomerate has published finished-product clinical evidence for 72-hour hydration at sufficient concentrations, and its placement in the formula is consistent with meaningful use. However, the brand has not directly cited this evidence, so it remains ingredient-level support only. The Coconut Water hero positioning does not align with its position in the ingredient list. The formula contains fragrance, which is not disclosed prominently in a product marketed with gentle and all-skin-types messaging. No active concentrations are published.
Test TransparencyGrade CFair
The brand does not publish any lab test reports, clinical study data, or ISO method documentation for this product in the public domain.
The brand does not publish any lab test reports, clinical study data, or ISO method documentation for this product in the public domain. No preservative efficacy test result is publicly accessible. The presence of Saccharide Isomerate lends ingredient-level credibility to the 72-hour hydration claim, but a finished-product clinical result with method, sample size, and outcome details would be needed to fully support it publicly. Grade C is the appropriate assignment for a product with no published test documentation.
Consumer ClarityGood
Application and frequency guidance are provided.
Application and frequency guidance are provided. Skin type suitability is stated broadly. However, the presence of fragrance in a leave-on product is not clearly communicated on the product page, meaning consumers with fragrance sensitivity lack the information needed to make an informed choice. The synthetic dye content is also not called out.

Evidence visible
What would strengthen this review
Public evidence the brand could provide to close verification gaps
- ○No finished-product clinical study for 72-hour hydration is publicly accessible. A study with method, sample size, and result data would substantiate this claim independently of ingredient supplier data.
- ○The fragrance ingredient is listed only as 'IFRA Certified Allergen Free Fragrance' without disclosure of its chemical components. Publishing the fragrance constituent list, even as a general category breakdown, would improve transparency for fragrance-sensitive consumers.
- ○No preservative efficacy test result is publicly accessible. For a water-based leave-on gel, an ISO 11930 preservation efficacy test result would confirm the preservation system is adequate.
- ○Active concentrations for Saccharide Isomerate, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Panthenol are not publicly disclosed, making it impossible to independently verify functional dosing.
This assessment is based only on publicly available INCI, claims, and test evidence. It is not a full Clean Sheet certification. Full certification requires confidential formula review, exact concentrations, supplier documentation, manufacturing records, packaging compatibility, preservative efficacy, stability, and complete claim validation.
