Full ingredient breakdown
2
Extract or concentrated protein fraction derived from egg white (albumen). The primary proteins are ovalbumin (~54%), ovotransferrin (~13%), ovomucoid (~11%), and lysozyme (~3.5%). In skincare, the film-forming proteins create a temporary tightening and pore-minimizing effect as they dry on skin. Skinfood's signature ingredient in their Egg White product line. Distinct from 'Egg Extract' (whole egg) and 'Egg Yolk Extract' (lipid-rich fraction).

A mineral UV filter effective against UVB and short UVA.
4
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.
23
Pro-vitamin B5 that soothes and hydrates.
24
The stable ester form of vitamin E that converts to active tocopherol in skin; a common, shelf-stable antioxidant.
26
A licorice-root-derived salt that calms inflammation and soothes irritated, reactive skin.
27

28
A larger-molecule alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) often paired with glycolic or lactic acid; exfoliates the surface while being relatively gentle.

The sodium salt of lactic acid, a natural component of the skin's NMF used as a humectant and mild pH buffer in moisturizers and toners.
31
Common table sugar used in cosmetics as a gentle humectant that attracts water to the skin.

A humectant that hydrates at low levels and exfoliates at high levels.

A naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) found in grapes and wine, used in cosmetics for its mild exfoliating, pH-buffering, and antioxidant properties; gentler than glycolic acid due to its larger molecular size and slower skin penetration.
