| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Snail secretion filtrate | A filtered, purified form of the mucus snails naturally secrete. | Contains natural hyaluronic acid, glycoproteins, and antioxidants that hydrate, support the barrier, and aid healing. |
| Niacinamide | A form of vitamin B3, one of the most studied ingredients in cosmetic dermatology. | Strengthens the skin barrier by boosting ceramide production, helps even out tone by limiting pigment transfer to skin cells, and can reduce the look of enlarged pores. |
| Panthenol | Pro-vitamin B5, which converts to pantothenic acid once absorbed into skin. | Hydrates as a humectant, supports wound healing, and has anti-inflammatory, soothing effects on irritated skin. |
| Betaine | An amino-acid-derived humectant, naturally found in sugar beets and also present in snail mucin. | Helps draw and hold moisture in the skin, and has mild soothing properties. |
| Allantoin | A soothing compound, naturally occurring in some plants and also made synthetically. | Calms irritation and supports skin healing, often paired with other barrier-focused ingredients. |
| Beta-glucan | A polysaccharide often derived from oats or yeast. | A soothing, hydrating ingredient studied for calming sensitive skin and supporting the barrier. |
| Arginine | An amino acid used in skincare as a humectant and skin-conditioning ingredient. | Helps draw and retain moisture, and is part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor. |
| Adenosine | A compound naturally present in skin cells, used in skincare as an anti-aging active. | Recognized by South Korea's MFDS as a functional anti-wrinkle ingredient at 0.04% concentration, based on clinical studies showing measurable fine-line improvement; a real but modest effect, not a retinoid substitute. |
