Full ingredient breakdown
5
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.
6
The sap (juice) of Betula alba (white birch), used as a hydrating alternative to water in ferment and essence formulas. Naturally rich in minerals, amino acids, and xylitol-related sugars that support skin hydration. Distinct from Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice (Japanese white birch).
12
A plant-derived carbohydrate complex that binds to skin for long-lasting, anchored hydration.
20
A gentle humectant derived from sugar beets.
23
The stable ester form of vitamin E that converts to active tocopherol in skin; a common, shelf-stable antioxidant.
24
A sugar-based humectant that holds water and helps skin resist dehydration stress.
25
A humectant that hydrates at low levels and exfoliates at high levels.
29
The salt form of hyaluronic acid; penetrates more readily.
30
A gentle soothing and skin-conditioning agent.
31
A humectant that can hold many times its weight in water.
32
A short-chain polyethylene glycol used as a humectant and solvent to hydrate skin and improve the feel and spreadability of formulas.
34
A naturally occurring amino acid that functions as a humectant and is a component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor.
38
Vitamin E; a lipid-soluble antioxidant that also conditions skin.
39
An AHA most often used in small amounts to adjust pH.
43
A synthetic polymer formed by esterification of polyacrylic acid with glycerol. Functions as a water-retaining humectant and film-former, creating a gel-like texture on skin that binds moisture. Distinct from carbomer-family thickeners in that glyceryl polyacrylate contributes directly to skin hydration rather than just viscosity. Widely used in lightweight gel moisturizers and essence-type formulas.
45
A fat-soluble ester of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and palmitic acid used as an antioxidant in cosmetics to protect against oxidative damage and extend formula shelf life.
47
A simple sugar humectant that draws moisture into the skin and serves as a substrate for skin-microbiome-friendly formulations.
48
Pure vitamin C; a potent antioxidant and brightener.
49
An extract from Chondrus crispus (Irish moss), a red alga rich in carrageenan polysaccharides and minerals, used as a hydrating, film-forming, and soothing ingredient.
