The actives
we trust.
A small index, formulated at the percentages dermatology research supports. No fragrance, no essential oils, no proprietary blends.
Ceramide NP
Barrier-restoring sphingolipid
A skin-identical lipid that rebuilds the brickwork of your stratum corneum. Three forms (NP, AP, EOP) for a complete barrier.
Niacinamide
Calms redness · refines tone
Supports endogenous ceramide synthesis, regulates sebum, and visibly softens redness within four weeks.
Centella Asiatica
Cica · soothing botanical
A clinically-studied botanical (asiaticoside, madecassic acid) that supports wound-repair pathways and calms inflammation.
Panthenol (B5)
Repair · hydration
Pro-vitamin B5. Increases trans-epidermal water retention while supporting barrier-repair enzymes.
Olive Squalane
Occlusive seal · skin-identical
Cold-pressed olive squalane is molecularly identical to the squalane in your sebum. Weightless, fragrance-free, and never deodorised with solvents.
Madecassoside
Cica metabolite · anti-inflammatory
The most studied bioactive in centella. Reduces redness, supports microcirculation, gentle enough for post-procedure skin.
Beta-Glucan
Soothing humectant
A long-chain polysaccharide that holds water in the upper epidermis and modulates the innate immune response.
Allantoin
Soft · gently keratolytic
A gentle keratolytic that supports cell renewal and softens texture without compromising the lipid barrier.
Cholesterol
Lipid co-factor
One leg of the ceramide-cholesterol-fatty-acid triangle. Without it, ceramides cannot organise into lamellar bilayers.
Hyaluronic Acid
Polymer humectant
Multi-molecular-weight HA for surface-to-deep hydration. Plumps without occluding.
α-Bisabolol
Anti-inflammatory
One of the gentlest anti-inflammatory actives in cosmetic chemistry. Excellent for rosacea-prone and reactive skin.
PHA (Gluconolactone)
Gentle resurfacing
Polyhydroxy acid — the kindest of the resurfacing acids. Refines texture without micro-stripping the barrier.
A short list of nevers.
