The formulation
Ingredient stack
Each ingredient is listed in descending concentration. Above the 1% line the order is regulated — below it, brands can list in any order.
Ingredients above the dashed gold line are dosed above 1% (the regulatory threshold) — these are what the formulation is really built on.
A glycosaminoglycan naturally present throughout the body, holding up to 1000x its weight in water. The most powerful naturally occurring humectant. Multi-weight HA (high, medium and low molecular weight) delivers hydration at different skin depths. Production declines significantly with age.
Converts to pantothenic acid on absorption. Functions as a powerful humectant, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing accelerant promoting keratinocyte proliferation. Essential for damaged-skin recovery. Suitable for any skin type, including post-procedure and reactive skin.
One of the most clinically validated plant-based actives. Rich in triterpenoid saponins (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid) with wound-healing, collagen-stimulating, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Asiaticoside stimulates collagen I and III; madecassoside shown efficacious for atopic dermatitis in RCTs.
