Key ingredients

Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.

Attracts water, giving cells and skin volume. Plays a key role in cell signals and other vital processes. It cushions the skin, providing resilience and firmness. This moisturizing humectant temporarily plumps fine lines and wrinkles. HA makes skin feel dewy and look radiant and glowing. Great for oily skin because it feels lightweight and non-greasy on the skin. Safe for all skin types. HA helps other skincare products get into the skin. This antiaging and hydrating ingredient can radically alter how your skin routine works by affecting penetration and absorption of other ingredients- so make sure you use it in the correct step of your skin care routine.

Natural soothing antioxidant. Anti inflammatory, protects hyaluronic acid.

Anti inflammatory, antioxidant and hydrating. High in oleic acid.

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil
Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil is valued for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, soothing skin redness. However, it poses a risk of allergic reactions, especially for those sensitive to terpenes like limonene or linalool. If you're allergic to tea tree oil or similar compounds, it’s best to avoid it.

Benzophenone-4
Benzophenone-4 is a chemical UV filter used to absorb harmful UV rays, preventing sun damage and photoaging. It also stabilizes formulations by protecting active ingredients from light degradation. However, it may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, and potentially has some weak hormone effects.

Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract
Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent rich in polyphenols, particularly oleuropein. It helps protect skin from free radicals and soothes inflammation, making it ideal for calming irritated skin.

Morus Alba Root Extract
Morus Alba Root Extract, derived from the white mulberry tree, offers antioxidant and skin-brightening benefits by inhibiting tyrosinase, reducing melanin production, and improving hyperpigmentation. It also has anti-inflammatory properties for a more even complexion. Additionally, it may be a weak phytoestrogen, though further research is needed to confirm this effect.
