| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate | A modern chemical UVA filter (Uvinul A Plus). | Absorbs long-wave UVA light and is photostable. |
| Ethylhexyl triazone | A modern chemical UVB filter (Uvinul T 150). | Absorbs UVB light efficiently and is photostable. |
| Diethylhexyl butamido triazone | A chemical UVB filter (iscotrizinol). | Absorbs UVB light and is photostable. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Ceramide NP | One specific, well-studied type of ceramide used in skincare formulas. | Reinforces the skin barrier and helps it retain moisture, the same core ceramide function. |
