Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Adenosine | Purine nucleoside. Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top. |
| Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid | Hyaluronic acid of reduced molecular weight. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Panthenol | Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Bisabolol | Sesquiterpene alcohol, chamomile-derived. Listed as fragrance, skin-conditioning agent. |
| Beta-Glucan | Polysaccharide from yeast or oat. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Cetyl Ethylhexanoate | Fatty acid ester. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells. |
| Glycerin | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Propanediol | Plant-derived diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Betaine | Amino acid derivative from sugar beet. Used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Dipropylene Glycol | Diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin and Propanediol among others — draw water into the surface. Calming ingredients — Panthenol, Centella Asiatica Extract and Beta-Glucan — work on the look of redness. Cetyl Ethylhexanoate sits on top and slow how fast that water leaves.
Humectants and emollients and lipids are the pairing that matters here: water pulled in by one, held there by the other. That is the difference between skin that feels comfortable an hour after application and skin that feels comfortable at bedtime.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
How to use it
