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: hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen.

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: hydrolyzed collagen, caprylyl glycol.

sodium pca 3.5% - 5.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer

lactobacillus/kelp ferment filtrate 4.8% - 7.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

sodium hyaluronate 1.6% - 2.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

Anti-aging

This product contains astaxanthin. 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.

astaxanthin 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help to calm down inflammation

hyaluronic acid 1.2% - 1.8%

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

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (astaxanthin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

astaxanthin 0.45% - 1.05%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps neutralize free radicals in skin and might help to calm down inflammation

fucoxanthin 0.4% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Can have an antioxidant effect in skin

bisabolol 2.7% - 4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

An active component of chamomile plant that historically has been used to calm down irritated skin. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
