IngredientWhat it isWhat it does for skin
NiacinamideA 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.
CholesterolOne of the three core lipids (alongside ceramides and fatty acids) that make up the skin barrier.Works together with ceramides and fatty acids to reinforce the barrier and reduce moisture loss.
AllantoinA soothing compound, naturally occurring in some plants and also made synthetically.Calms irritation and supports skin healing, often paired with other barrier-focused ingredients.
TocopherolThe 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.
AdenosineA 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.
AsiaticosideOne of centella asiatica's primary triterpenoid glycosides, alongside madecassoside.Studied for supporting wound healing and collagen synthesis; often included alongside madecassoside for a broader range of centella's soothing and repair-supporting effects.
Hyaluronic acidA humectant naturally found in skin, capable of holding many times its weight in water.Draws moisture into the skin's surface, helping it look and feel plumper and more hydrated.
Ceramide NPOne specific, well-studied type of ceramide used in skincare formulas.Reinforces the skin barrier and helps it retain moisture, the same core ceramide function.
Beta-glucanA polysaccharide often derived from oats or yeast.A soothing, hydrating ingredient studied for calming sensitive skin and supporting the barrier.
Salicylic acidA beta hydroxy acid (BHA), oil-soluble unlike AHAs.Exfoliates inside pores to clear buildup and control oil, with mild anti-inflammatory properties useful for acne-prone skin.Note: An active exfoliant. Can be drying or irritating with daily use, especially for dry or sensitized skin.
