Key ingredients

Exfoliating and hydrating skin benefits. Used for dry skin with wrinkles, dark spots, acne or rough skin. Will instantly make skin radiant. May sting sensitive skin.

Anti redness exfoliant that gets thru skin oil to remove blackheads. Calms acne and rosacea. Loved by oily skin types.

Dermatologist-recommended antioxidant for antiaging because it increases collagen and prevents melanin production. Protects skin from sun exposure and lightens dark spots.

Gentle skin lightener with antioxidant and anti inflammatory skin benefits.

Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract
Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi (bearberry) Leaf Extract, derived from the bearberry plant, is rich in arbutin, a natural tyrosinase inhibitor that reduces melanin production, making it effective for skin brightening and hyperpigmentation treatment. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and combat oxidative stress. Its dual action promotes an even skin tone and calmer, more protected skin.

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is a sulfate-free, anionic surfactant derived from petroleum or coconut oil. It provides strong detergent action, making it effective at removing dirt and oil. It is good for oily skin types. It offers rich foam and deep cleansing, however, it can be drying or irritating for sensitive skin, especially in higher concentrations. Avoid use on stinging, irritated skin. Overuse can cause disruption of the skin’s natural lipid barrier. Its strong cleansing ability makes it common in shampoos and body washes, but it's less suitable for delicate skin types.

Decyl Glucoside is a mild nonionic surfactant derived from glucose and coconut oil. It gently cleanses the skin without stripping its natural oils, making it ideal for sensitive skin and baby products. Its mild nature makes it suitable for all skin types, including dry or sensitive skin.

Glycereth-2 Cocoate
Glycereth-2 Cocoate, a mild nonionic surfactant and emollient, is derived from glycerin and coconut oil. It offers gentle cleansing while also providing moisturizing benefits, making it less likely to strip the skin of natural oils. This dual-action makes it ideal for formulations aimed at maintaining the skin’s hydration. It helps balance stronger surfactants, reducing potential dryness.

Sucrose Laurate is a nonionic surfactant derived from sucrose (sugar) and lauric acid (from coconut or palm oil). It is used for its mild cleansing properties and ability to emulsify, helping to mix oil and water in formulations. As a nonionic surfactant, it is gentle on the skin and ideal for sensitive skin types. It works by reducing surface tension, allowing dirt and oils to be rinsed off without stripping the skin.

Lilium Candidum (Lily) Flower Extract
Lilium Candidum (Lily) Flower Extract, derived from the white lily, is known for its soothing, hydrating, and antioxidant properties. It helps calm irritated skin and reduce redness, making it beneficial for sensitive or inflamed skin. Additionally, it has moisturizing effects, helping to lock in hydration and improve skin's barrier function. The extract also contains antioxidants, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage. If you're allergic to lilies, there's a chance you could react to Lilium Candidum Flower Extract, depending on your allergy trigger. Lily allergies are often caused by pollen proteins, but most cosmetic extracts remove or contain trace amounts of these allergens, lowering the risk. However, if your allergy stems from contact with the plant's sap or oils, sensitivity to the extract is still possible.
