Full ingredient breakdown
1
A dry extract of aloe vera leaves used to calm and hydrate skin, distinct from aloe leaf juice in processing and concentration.
3
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.
6
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.
9
Natto gum is polyglutamic acid (PGA) — a biopolymer produced by Bacillus subtilis during the fermentation of soybeans (natto). It has extraordinary water-holding capacity, exceeding even hyaluronic acid. Used in Matsuyama's Hadauru ceramide line for superior moisturization.
10
A gentle humectant derived from sugar beets.
11
The salt form of hyaluronic acid; penetrates more readily.
12
A marigold flower extract long used to calm and soothe irritated, sensitive skin.
13
Aqueous or hydroalcoholic extract from spearmint leaves (Mentha viridis). Retains some of the plant's anti-inflammatory and cooling properties with lower fragrance potential than the essential oil.
14
An aqueous or hydroglycolic extract of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) leaves, distinct from the essential oil form in the KB, valued for antioxidant and soothing properties from its rosmarinic acid and luteolin content.
