INGREDIENT LIBRARY
Get to Know What’s Going on Your Skin.
A little ingredient knowledge can go a long way.
Skincare labels can look complicated, especially when every ingredient seems to have a long scientific name.
Our Ingredient Library is here to make things simpler.
Think of it as your little skincare guide — a place to explore familiar ingredients, understand why they’re used, and learn how they may fit into your routine.
Let’s start with a few favourites.
Niacinamide
Your Everyday Skin Supporter
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 used in skincare for several purposes. Research suggests it can help support the skin barrier, improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, and help manage excess oil.
Vitamin C
For a Brighter-Looking Complexion
Vitamin C is an antioxidant used in skincare to help protect against oxidative stress. Depending on its form and formulation, it may also help improve the appearance of dullness and uneven pigmentation.
Ceramides
Little Lipids, Important Work
Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin barrier. They help the skin retain moisture and support its protective function, making them useful in products designed to care for dry or barrier-stressed skin.
Peptides
Small Ingredients, Specific Roles
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Different peptides are used in skincare for different purposes, including helping improve the appearance of skin firmness and smoothness. Their effects depend on the peptide and the formulation.
Salicylic Acid
A Favourite for Pore Care
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) commonly used in products for oily and blemish-prone skin. It helps exfoliate dead skin cells and can help reduce the buildup that contributes to clogged pores.
Glutathione
Getting to Know This Antioxidant
Glutathione is an antioxidant that occurs naturally in the body. It has attracted interest in skincare research, but the benefits of topical products depend on factors such as formulation, delivery, and the available evidence.
Panthenol
A Little Extra Comfort for Your Skin
Also known as provitamin B5, panthenol is commonly used in skincare for its moisturising and skin-conditioning properties. It helps skin feel softer and more comfortable.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hydration That Helps Skin Feel Plump
Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to bind water. In skincare, it’s used to help attract and retain moisture, leaving skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and supple.
