Ingredient callouts

Ceramides (ceramide np 0.10% - 0.20%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassoside 0.15% - 0.30% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage. They can also help to decrease scarring.
Humectants (hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.30%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.35%, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.20% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.55%, panthenol 0.45% - 0.65% and betaine 1.40% - 1.70%).

What does the product description say?

An essence-type moisturizing facial mist that contains 89% of Hydrangea Extract to calm and moisturize skin.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: betaine, glycerin.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: chondrus crispus extract.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, madecassoside, panthenol

ceramide np 0.1% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin

sodium hyaluronate 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

Anti-aging

This product contains madecassoside. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

madecassoside 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An antioxidant that is typically derived from plant Centella Asiatica. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin and support skin barrier function. It could, however, itself be irritating. It is often unstable in formulations

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin. Naturally present in skin. Typically has large molecule size unless advertised otherwise on the product label. Helps support skin's barrier function and may help to reduce inflammation

tocopherol 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Insufficient!

Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself

madecassoside 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

tocopherol 0.2% - 0.4%
