Key ingredients
These are the ingredients Dr. Althea highlights for this product, cross-checked against general dermatological and cosmetic-chemistry sources, not a full INCI list.

| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Paeonia albiflora flower extract | An extract of white peony flower used as a calming botanical. | Used for its soothing, skin-conditioning role. Dr. Althea markets its patented form for barrier support, which rests largely on the brand's own studies. |
| Hyaluronic acid (7 types) | A blend of seven forms of hyaluronic acid with different molecular sizes, as described by the brand. | Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that holds water at the skin surface. Mixing sizes is meant to hydrate at more than one depth, though how deep topical hyaluronic acid reaches is debated. |
| Avocado fruit extract | An extract of avocado fruit that contains fatty acids and vitamin E. | Used as an emollient and conditioning ingredient that softens skin. |
| Argania spinosa kernel oil | Argan oil, pressed from argan kernels and rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids and vitamin E. | Acts as an emollient that softens skin and slows moisture loss. |
| Guaiazulene | A blue azulene compound found in chamomile and some other plants, also made synthetically. | Used for its soothing reputation on redness-prone skin. It can tint a formula slightly blue. |
| Tocopherol | The chemical name for vitamin E as typically used in skincare formulas. | Helps neutralize free radicals from UV and pollution exposure and supports the skin's moisture barrier. |
