Every ingredient, in plain language

The most-studied form of vitamin C. Requires a low pH (~3.5) to work and is mildly tingling on first use. Use AM before SPF.

Pair with sunscreen. Sensitive skin may prefer THD Ascorbate (below).

Oil-soluble, stable vitamin C. No tingle, plays well under makeup and SPF. Slightly slower visible results than L-AA but much gentler.

A gentler tone-evening active. Works quietly on dark spots and PIH without the irritation profile of hydroquinone.

Vitamin B3. Regulates sebum, supports the barrier, and dims redness. Safe to layer with almost anything.

Oil-soluble. Gets into pores to clear congestion, blackheads, and surface bumps.

Not recommended during pregnancy. Use PM 2–3× per week to start.

Water-soluble, gentler than glycolic. Smooths texture and boosts radiance over 2–4 weeks of regular use.

The original vitamin A. Stimulates turnover, softens fine lines, supports collagen over months of use.

Not pregnancy-safe. PM only, with SPF in the morning. Start 1× per week and build up.

Pineapple and papaya enzymes gently dissolve dead surface cells. A low-commitment alternative to acids.

Short, medium, and high-molecular-weight HA hydrate at different depths without tackiness.

The workhorse humectant. Stable, affordable, and well-tolerated. You'll see it in most of the range.

Calms, smooths, and pulls a small amount of water into the upper skin layers. The quiet co-star of our hydration formulas.

The lipids that hold your skin barrier together. A classic three-ceramide blend repairs compromised skin quickly.

The other two legs of the barrier stool. Boring on their own, essential in a ceramide-led formula.

Signal peptides associated with firmness and fine-line softening. Slow-acting; expect visible results over months, not weeks.

A plant-derived alternative to retinol. Gentler, daytime-friendly, and pregnancy-safe — but slower than the real thing.

Naturally rich in vitamin A precursors and linoleic acid. A gentle glow-giver for most skin types.

Plant-derived (sugarcane) version of a lipid your skin already makes. Weightless, non-comedogenic.

Technically a liquid wax, not an oil. Structurally close to sebum, which is why it rarely clogs.

A steam-distilled Bulgarian hydrosol with a naturally calming scent. The only scent ingredient in our rose-forward products — no parfum added.

Broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Reef-safe, pregnancy-safe, and tolerated by most sensitive and post-procedure skin.

Modern chemical UV filters that absorb light rather than reflect it. Lightweight, transparent, and easy to layer under makeup.

Used in our hybrid Tinted Glow SPF 40 (paired with titanium dioxide). If you prefer a 100% mineral SPF, choose the Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30.

A second mineral filter, often paired with iron oxides for a tinted finish. Provides additional UVA/UVB cover with no white cast at low percentages.
