A lightweight, water-soluble humectant and solvent. It hydrates, improves how a product feels and spreads, and helps dissolve and carry other actives — with a fast, non-greasy slip that suits every skin type.
INCI: Butylene Glycol
Fades dark marks, melasma and post-acne pigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase — the enzyme that drives excess melanin. A stable, well-studied brightening active, and a gentler alternative to hydroquinone for long-term use.
INCI: Alpha-Arbutin
A water-soluble ceramide complex built around 2.5% skin-identical Ceramide NP. It reinforces the skin’s natural barrier, helps stop moisture escaping and supports smoother, more resilient skin — ideal for dryness and dehydration.
INCI: Ceramide NP complex (full list in specs)
A water-soluble antioxidant (CoQ10) that defends skin against daily damage and helps keep it looking smooth and resilient. This version blends straight into water-based serums — no special mixing needed.
INCI: Ubiquinone
A gentle, plant-derived humectant (trimethylglycine) that holds moisture deep in the skin and strengthens the barrier. It also takes the “sting” out of cleansers and strong acids — a soothing hydration booster.
INCI: Betaine
Provitamin B5 — a soothing, water-soluble humectant that boosts hydration, calms sensitive skin and supports the barrier for a smoother, more comfortable finish. Great in skin and hair formulas.
INCI: Panthenol
A plant antioxidant that neutralises free radicals and — crucially — stabilises and amplifies Vitamins C and E, making it a classic partner in antioxidant and anti-ageing serums.
INCI: Ferulic Acid
A gentle, next-generation humectant — a smoother-feeling alternative to glycerin. It pulls water into the skin to relieve dryness, with a soft, cushioned, non-greasy finish. Good for sensitive skin.
INCI: Hydroxyethyl Urea
Strengthens the skin barrier, regulates oil and fades uneven tone — a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3 shown in published studies to boost the skin’s own ceramide production. It evens tone by blocking melanosomes (pigment packages) from moving from melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) into keratinocytes (skin surface cells). One of the most versatile, well-tolerated actives in cosmetic formulation.
INCI: Niacinamide
The gentlest form of Vitamin A — a stabilised, oil-based retinoid that renews and firms skin without the burn, redness or peeling of stronger retinoids. A safe starting point for sensitive and melanin-rich skin.
INCI: Retinyl Palmitate
A stable, water-soluble Vitamin C that brightens and protects without the sting or oxidation of pure Vitamin C. It stays effective at normal (pH 6–7) formulas and also helps calm acne-prone skin.
INCI: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
A gentle, high-purity sugar humectant that holds water at the skin’s surface and protects the skin — and your formula — under stress like heat and dryness. A reliable hydration and stability booster.
INCI: Trehalose
