INGREDIENTS DECODER:

A

• Aqua (Water): The foundation of most skincare products, helping to dissolve other ingredients and hydrate the skin.
• Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer: A thickener that gives products a smooth, gel-like texture and helps them stay in place on your skin.

B

• Behenyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol that conditions and softens the skin, providing a rich, creamy texture.
• Butylene Glycol: A hydrating ingredient that helps your skin retain moisture and allows other ingredients to absorb better.

C

• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: Derived from coconut oil, this lightweight emollient helps to soften and smooth your skin without feeling greasy.

• Centella Asiatica Extract: Known as ‘Cica,’ this calming plant extract soothes irritated skin, reduces redness, and supports skin healing.
• CI 19140, CI 77288, CI 42090: These are colorants that give the product a color correcting hue without affecting its performance. 

D

• Dimethicone / Dimethicone Crosspolymer: Silicone-based ingredients that create a silky, smooth texture and form a barrier on the skin to lock in moisture. Non comodogenic.
