Key ingredients

• SqualanePotent

  Squalane: ingredient no. 1, not counting water

  A light, well-tolerated oil component, usually obtained from olive or sugarcane. A different ingredient from squalene, which is on our watchlist.

• PHA acids

  Polyhydroxy acids. The molecule is larger than the AHAs', they penetrate more slowly and also work as humectants; an acid routine is often started with these.

• Amino acids

  Building blocks of protein, and part of the skin's own natural moisturizing factor. In a formula they act as humectants; some also serve as pH adjusters.
