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. Percentages are positional estimates from INCI order unless a brand discloses them.
A soothing polysaccharide and humectant that calms reactive skin and supports barrier recovery — 2026's barrier-repair hero, with rising clinical interest.
Barrier lipids that make up much of the stratum corneum's protective matrix. Replenishing them reduces water loss and reinforces resilience — central to barrier repair and to calming dry, reactive skin.
A humectant that binds water in the upper skin layers for immediate plumping and hydration. Multi-weight forms reach different depths. Apply to damp skin and seal with moisturiser, especially in dry climates.
