Full ingredient breakdown
4
The sap (juice) of Betula alba (white birch), used as a hydrating alternative to water in ferment and essence formulas. Naturally rich in minerals, amino acids, and xylitol-related sugars that support skin hydration. Distinct from Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice (Japanese white birch).
5
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.
10
A gentle humectant derived from sugar beets.
11
A sugar-based humectant that holds water and helps skin resist dehydration stress.
12
A humectant that hydrates at low levels and exfoliates at high levels.
13
A humectant that can hold many times its weight in water.
18
A naturally occurring amino acid that functions as a humectant and is a component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor.
26
A synthetic polymer formed by esterification of polyacrylic acid with glycerol. Functions as a water-retaining humectant and film-former, creating a gel-like texture on skin that binds moisture. Distinct from carbomer-family thickeners in that glyceryl polyacrylate contributes directly to skin hydration rather than just viscosity. Widely used in lightweight gel moisturizers and essence-type formulas.

38
An extract from Chondrus crispus (Irish moss), a red alga rich in carrageenan polysaccharides and minerals, used as a hydrating, film-forming, and soothing ingredient.
