IngredientWhat it isWhat it does for skin
AvobenzoneA widely used chemical filter that absorbs long-wave UVA light.Gives UVA protection, but it breaks down in sunlight unless it is stabilized by other ingredients.Note: May sting the eyes or irritate sensitive skin in some people.
HomosalateA chemical UVB filter common in US sunscreens.Absorbs UVB light and helps dissolve other filters in the formula.Note: Some regulators cap how much can be used, and some people choose to avoid it.
OctisalateA chemical UVB filter, also called ethylhexyl salicylate.Absorbs UVB light and helps stabilize filters such as avobenzone.
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.
Birch sapSap tapped from birch trees, used in Korean skincare as a lightweight hydrating base.Commonly included for its hydrating, soothing properties, though it has less independent clinical research than more established actives.
Sodium hyaluronateThe salt form of hyaluronic acid, commonly used for its water solubility and stability in formulas; molecular weight varies by product rather than being uniformly smaller.Draws and holds moisture the same way hyaluronic acid does; how easily it absorbs depends on the specific molecular weight used, which formulas don't always disclose.
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.
