Pro-vitamin B5 that soothes and hydrates.
10
The stable ester form of vitamin E that converts to active tocopherol in skin; a common, shelf-stable antioxidant.
11
An extract of the leaves, roots, and stems of Piper methysticum (kava), containing kavalactones including kavain, methysticin, and yangonin; used as a skin-conditioning agent at trace concentrations, with unresolved topical safety data per the CIR Expert Panel.

16
A calming botanical (cica) prized for soothing stressed skin.
17
Extract specifically from the roots of Centella asiatica — functionally distinct from the general 'Centella Asiatica Extract' (which typically derives from aerial parts) and from 'Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract'. Roots contain higher concentrations of polysaccharides and a different triterpenoid ratio. Used in multi-part centella extractions (leaf + root + flower/stem) to deliver the full phytochemical breadth of the plant.
18
A water- or glycol-based extract from Melaleuca alternifolia leaves that retains soothing and mild antimicrobial properties from terpinen-4-ol, polyphenols, and flavonoids, with a lower allergen load than the steam-distilled essential oil.
19
An extract from Artemisia capillaris (capillary wormwood / Inchinko), a traditional Korean medicinal herb, distinct from the Artemisia Capillaris Powder form, used for soothing, antioxidant, and calming benefits in K-beauty formulations.
20
An extract of false daisy traditionally used for its antioxidant and soothing benefits.
21
Neem leaf extract, traditionally used to calm and condition blemish-prone skin.
25
A plant-derived ingredient with retinol-like benefits and less irritation.
30
A vitamin A derivative that accelerates cell turnover.
33
A licorice-root-derived salt that calms inflammation and soothes irritated, reactive skin.
34
A nucleoside used at low concentrations to help smooth the look of fine lines; a common K-beauty anti-aging active.
37
A polysaccharide humectant that hydrates and calms; often compared to hyaluronic acid.
39
A synthetic phenolic antioxidant that prevents oxidation of oils and fats in cosmetic formulas, used at very low concentrations.
40
Undissolved native collagen protein used in cosmetics as a humectant and film-former that conditions the skin surface; distinct from hydrolyzed or soluble collagen forms.
42
An oil-soluble BHA that exfoliates inside the pore.
44
Vitamin E; a lipid-soluble antioxidant that also conditions skin.
45
A probiotic-derived ferment lysate that supports the skin barrier and protects against oxidative stress.
46
A skin-identical lipid that rebuilds the barrier.
47
A filtrate from fermented Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast or sake yeast). Contains amino acids, B vitamins, peptides, and fermentation-produced bioactives. Used extensively in Japanese skincare (Elixir, Kiku-Masamune sake line) for skin conditioning and barrier support.
48
A more potent retinoid one step closer to retinoic acid than retinol.
49

An isolated active from centella with strong soothing effects.
55
Glycine Soja (Soybean) Peptide is a hydrolyzed soy protein fraction consisting of small peptides (oligopeptides and amino acids) derived from soybean. The peptide fraction is separated from larger proteins and lipids, providing a concentrated mixture of skin-conditioning small molecules. In cosmetics it functions as a barrier-supportive humectant and skin conditioner, contributing bioactive peptides with potential collagen-stimulating and elasticity-improving activity.
56
A polyphenol antioxidant from grapes.
58
A centella-derived triterpene active in the 'madecassic/asiatic' family, valued for soothing and barrier-supporting effects.
