More Featured Ingredients

Microencapsulated Retinol

Time-released renewal with minimal irritation

Renew • Firm • Gentle

Microencapsulated retinol uses advanced technology to wrap pure retinol in a protective microscopic shell. This ensures the ingredient remains stable and releases slowly into the skin over time, maximizing anti-aging results while significantly reducing surface irritation and dryness.

Licorice Root Extract

Brightens and calms uneven skin tone

Brighten • Soothe • Even

Licorice root extract contains glabridin and licochalcone, compounds that help to visibly fade dark spots and soothe sensitive, red skin.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Deeply hydrates and plumps skin

Hydrate • Plump • Replenish

Sodium hyaluronate is a water-soluble salt derivative of hyaluronic acid with a smaller molecular size, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the skin to attract and bind water, resulting in intense hydration and a visibly plumped, smoother complexion.

Shea Butter

Deeply moisturizes and softens rough skin

Moisturize • Nourish • Protect

Shea butter is a rich, emollient plant lipid that deeply moisturizes the skin, smooths dry patches, and creates a protective seal to prevent future moisture loss.

Chamomile Extract

Soothes and comforts sensitive skin

Calm • Soothe • Comfort

Chamomile extract is a gentle botanical rich in bisabolol that rapidly reduces visible redness and comforts easily irritated skin.

Cucumber

Cools, hydrates, and depuffs

Cool • Hydrate • Refresh

Cucumber extract is a water-dense botanical filled with antioxidants and ascorbic acid that provides instant, refreshing relief to tired or puffy skin.
