About the ingredients:

Snail Mucin hydrates, promotes skin regeneration, and boosts collagen. It reduces fine lines, fades acne scars, improves skin texture, and soothes inflammation, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Copper Tripeptide is known for firming, smoothing wrinkles, and boosting skin health.

Hyaluronic acid- another yet powerful humectant which gives instant hydrated and supple feel to the skin. All these humectants make this essence deep hydrated suitable for a night regime.

Glycerin- humectant which keeps hydrated and reduces dryness. It is suitable for most skin types.

Aloe extract soothes skin, reduces inflammation and irritation.

Propanediol 1,3 helps in absorption and in moisturising skin. It is a natural similar alternative to propylene glycol. You can add Propylene glycol if you have for better absorption.

Preservative Eco is a natural preservative with good microbial preservation an stability. It is miscible in water based products. The addition of Propanediol 1,3 and Hyaluronic acid helps in mixing. 

DM Water: Demineralised water

This is a fragrance free product with none noticeable fragrance. If you prefer fragrance, you could opt for hydrosols or small amount of water soluble fragrance. Oil soluble fragrance oils need solubiliser.
