My Key Ingredients
  • Glycerin: A powerful humectant that draws moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated.
  • Niacinamide: Soothes and strengthens the skin, reducing inflammation and improving the skin barrier.
  • Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5): Deeply hydrates and helps repair the skin barrier, while also providing anti-inflammatory benefits.
