Full ingredient breakdown
5
A polyethoxylated glycerin derivative (26 ethylene oxide units) that provides humectant hydration and improves texture.
7
A hydrolyzed complex of mixed saccharides (polysaccharides broken into smaller sugar units) used as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in toners, essences, and hydrating serums.
9
A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that exfoliates gently and hydrates.
10
Pro-vitamin B5 that soothes and hydrates.
13
An extract from pear fruit (Pyrus communis) containing soothing polyphenols and humectant sugars that calm irritation and help maintain skin hydration.
14
An isolated active from centella with strong soothing effects.
15
The aqueous distillate co-produced during rose essential oil distillation, used as a soothing and mildly fragrant toner base in moisturizers and facial mists.
16
An extract from the rhizome (root) of Iris florentina (white iris/orris). Contains iridoids (irisin), isoflavones, and flavonoids that provide soothing, antioxidant, and conditioning properties.

A calming botanical (cica) prized for soothing stressed skin.
18
An extract from melon (Cucumis melo) fruit used in cosmetics for its soothing, hydrating, and mild antioxidant properties.
19
An extract derived from the seeds of Salvia hispanica (chia), native to Central America and increasingly grown worldwide. Unlike Chia Seed Oil (which concentrates omega-3/omega-6 fatty acids), the seed extract brings water-soluble and semi-polar fractions: polyphenols (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, flavonoids), mucilage polysaccharides, and peptides. The extract provides antioxidant protection and mild anti-inflammatory benefits. Distinct from Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil (the fixed oil, pressing-derived) — different composition and different INCI designation.

30
Extract from Diospyros kaki (Japanese persimmon / kaki) fruit. Rich in condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins), vitamin C, and carotenoids. Used in K-beauty pore-tightening and brightening formulas for its astringent and antioxidant properties. Traditional ingredient in East Asian herbal skincare.
