Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Niacinamide | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| Tranexamic Acid | Synthetic lysine derivative. Listed as astringent, skin-conditioning agent. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Panthenol | Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Madecassoside | Triterpene glycoside from Centella asiatica. Used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to calm irritation. |
| Bisabolol | Sesquiterpene alcohol, chamomile-derived. Listed as fragrance, skin-conditioning agent. |
| Squalane | Saturated hydrocarbon, hydrogenated squalene. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells. |
| Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter | Fat from Butyrospermum parkii seed. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous), skin-conditioning agent (occlusive), viscosity increasing agent (non-aqueous). |
| Butylene Glycol | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| Propanediol | Plant-derived diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Xylitylglucoside | Sugar derivative. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (humectant). |
| Anhydroxylitol | Xylitol derivative. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (humectant). |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol and Propanediol — draw water into the surface. Calming ingredients — Panthenol and Madecassoside — work on the look of redness. Squalane 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
- After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount to skin and rub gently in to absorb.
