Octisalate is a UVB filter that absorbs UV rays in the 295–315 nm range, protecting skin from sunburn and UV-induced damage. It's oil-soluble, spreads easily, and adds water resistance to sunscreens. Gentle and low-irritation, it suits most skin types. It also stabilizes and boosts other UV filters like avobenzone, improving overall broad-spectrum photoprotection.

A photostable organic UVA filter (Uvinul A Plus). It absorbs long-wave UVA rays that cause ageing and pigmentation, complements UVB filters for broad-spectrum protection, and stays stable in sunlight.

Tinosorb S is a highly effective broad-spectrum UV filter that absorbs both UVA and UVB rays, offering comprehensive protection against sunburn, photoaging, and UV-induced damage. Highly photostable, it maintains its protective power without degrading in sunlight and helps stabilize other UV filters. Oil-soluble and effective at low concentrations, it delivers strong SPF with an elegant, lightweight feel, making it ideal for modern, cosmetically pleasing sunscreens.

A 5-Ceramide Complex (Ceramides 1, 2, 3, 4, 6-II) replenishes the skin's natural lipids to restore and strengthen the moisture barrier. These essential lipids fill gaps between skin cells, sealing in hydration and reducing transepidermal water loss for softer, plumper skin. By reinforcing barrier function, they protect against irritants, pollution, and environmental stress, calm sensitivity, and improve resilience—leaving skin smoother, healthier, and more balanced. Ideal for dry, aging, and compromised skin.

Aquaxyl (Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol) is a sugar-derived moisturizing complex that optimizes skin hydration by boosting water reserves and reducing transepidermal water loss. It strengthens the skin barrier by stimulating lipid and natural moisturizing factor synthesis, improving resilience and long-lasting hydration. This "water-reservoir" active enhances skin softness, smoothness, and comfort, delivering deep, sustained moisture while reinforcing barrier function for healthier, more balanced skin.

Laminaria Digitata Extract is a mineral- and antioxidant-rich brown seaweed (kelp) prized for its hydrating, detoxifying, and remineralizing benefits. Packed with vitamins, trace elements, and polysaccharides, it deeply moisturizes, soothes, and revitalizes the skin while boosting elasticity and firmness. Its antioxidants combat free radicals and environmental stress, supporting anti-aging, while its purifying properties help detoxify and refine skin, leaving it smooth, nourished, and radiant.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) strengthens the skin barrier by boosting ceramides, locks in moisture, and regulates oil. It visibly minimises pores, fades dark spots and uneven tone, calms redness, and offers antioxidant, anti-ageing protection—suiting nearly all skin types.

Pro-vitamin B5, a humectant and soothing agent. It draws in and holds moisture, softens skin and hair, calms irritation and redness, and supports barrier repair and wound healing, leaving surfaces smooth and comforted.

The salt form of hyaluronic acid, smaller and more stable. It is a strong humectant that binds large amounts of water, deeply hydrating and plumping the skin, smoothing fine dehydration lines and improving suppleness.

This is a paired system: Sodium Acrylates Copolymer thickens and stabilises the formula, giving a smooth gel texture and even ingredient distribution, while Lecithin acts as an emulsifier and skin-conditioner that softens skin and helps actives penetrate—together ensuring stable, effective delivery.

A silicone that forms a light, breathable protective film. It smooths and softens skin, fills fine lines for a blurred finish, reduces water loss to keep skin hydrated, and gives products a silky, non-greasy slip.

Cetearyl Olivate is an olive-derived emulsifier and emollient that blends oil and water into stable, smooth creams and lotions. Often paired with Sorbitan Olivate (as Olivem), it mimics skin's natural lipids to soften, condition, and reinforce the moisture barrier. It delivers a silky, non-greasy feel, boosts hydration, and reduces water loss, making it a gentle, skin-friendly choice for sensitive and dry skin formulations.
