Key ingredients

Fragrance: The ingredient list includes essential oils, so it is not fragrance-free.
| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Diethylhexyl butamido triazone | A chemical UVB filter (iscotrizinol). | Absorbs UVB light and is photostable. |
| Terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid | A water-soluble chemical UVA filter (Mexoryl SX). | Absorbs UVA light and is highly photostable. |
| Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate | A modern chemical UVA filter (Uvinul A Plus). | Absorbs long-wave UVA 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. |
| Tea tree leaf extract | An extract of the tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) leaf. | Used for its purifying positioning in products for oily or blemish-prone skin.Note: Can irritate sensitive skin in some people; tea tree oil is the stronger form. |
| Centella asiatica extract | A plant extract, also called Cica or tiger grass, long used in traditional medicine for wound healing. | Calms redness and irritation and supports the skin barrier; some preclinical and limited clinical research suggests it may also support collagen production, though more rigorous long-term studies are still needed to confirm this. |
| Asiaticoside | One 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. |
