Detailed ingredient-by-ingredient (science-backed)

✨ Hero Ingredients (Skin-Loving Actives)

  1. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

    • Benefit: Brightens skin, improves uneven tone, minimizes pores, and strengthens the skin barrier.

    • Science: Proven to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increase ceramide production.

  2. Alpha-Arbutin

    • Benefit: Fades hyperpigmentation and dark spots, giving skin a luminous, even complexion.

    • Science: A safer, more stable alternative to hydroquinone — inhibits melanin production without irritation.

  3. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Stable Vitamin C derivative)

    • Benefit: Antioxidant protection, brightening, collagen stimulation.

    • Science: More stable than L-ascorbic acid, penetrates deeper without oxidizing quickly.

  4. Centella Asiatica Extract + Madecassoside + Asiaticoside

    • Benefit: Soothes redness, repairs barrier damage, calms inflammation.

    • Science: Rich in triterpenoids that promote wound healing and boost collagen synthesis.

  5. Snail Secretion Filtrate

    • Benefit: Deep hydration, skin repair, improves elasticity.

    • Science: Contains glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and peptides that accelerate skin regeneration.

  6. Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid salt)

    • Benefit: Provides intense hydration, plumps fine lines.

    • Science: Smaller molecular weight than hyaluronic acid, penetrates deeper into skin layers.

  7. Peptide Complex

    • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, sh-Oligopeptides, sh-Polypeptides

    • Benefit: Anti-aging powerhouse — smooths wrinkles, improves skin elasticity, stimulates collagen & elastin production.

    • Science: Biomimetic peptides signal skin cells to repair and rejuvenate.

  8. Maltobionic Acid (PHA)

    • Benefit: Gentle exfoliation, hydration, antioxidant protection.

    • Science: Larger molecules than AHAs — exfoliates without irritation, ideal for sensitive skin.

  9. Bacillus/Folic Acid Ferment Filtrate Extract

    • Benefit: Probiotic ferment strengthens skin microbiome, improves resilience.

    • Science: Boosts skin’s natural defense system against environmental stressors.

  10. Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra)

    • Benefit: Brightens dull skin, reduces dark spots, calms irritation.

    • Science: Contains glabridin, which inhibits melanin overproduction.

✨ Supporting Ingredients (Hydration, Texture, Preservation)

  • Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Betaine → Humectants that draw water into skin for long-lasting hydration.

  • Lecithin → Natural emollient, improves ingredient delivery into skin.

  • Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride → Nourishing fatty acids that soften skin.

  • Allantoin & Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate → Skin-soothing agents that calm sensitivity.

  • Menthyl Lactate & Cucumber Extract → Provide a cooling, refreshing effect.

  • Eucalyptus Globulus Oil → Mild antiseptic & invigorating scent.

  • Polysorbate 20, Decyl Glucoside, Lauryl Glucoside → Stabilizers, mild cleansing & emulsifying agents.

  • Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin → Safe preservatives ensuring product stability & freshness.

  • Hydroxyacetophenone → Antioxidant + preservative booster.

🌟 Why Clients Will Love It:

  • Combines K-beauty science + luxury ingredients.

  • Brightening + anti-aging + soothing in one pad.

  • Gentle exfoliation (PHA + peptides + vitamin C) without irritation.

  • Multifunctional: exfoliator, toner, essence all in one step.

Science & safety notes you should show on the page

  • Patch test recommended: Apply one pad to inner forearm for 24 hours for those with very sensitive skin. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

  • Sun protection required: Because the pads include chemical exfoliants (PHA/AHA), use daily sunscreen after daytime use. Exfoliation increases photosensitivity.

  • Not for broken or actively inflamed skin: Avoid using during severe acne breakouts or open wounds.

  • Pregnancy / breastfeeding: If using active brighteners or significant acids, advise customers to check with their clinician (alpha-arbutin and niacinamide are generally considered safe, but always advise consulting a physician if uncertain).

  • Storage & shelf life: Keep jar sealed; avoid humidity. Use within recommended period after opening (e.g., 6–12 months depending on preservative system).

Typical formulation & usage guidance (for education copy)

  • Typical niacinamide %: 2–5% for brightening and barrier support.

  • Typical PHA % (gluconolactone): Low single digits for daily use; PHAs are gentler than AHAs but still deliver exfoliation.

  • Peptide levels: Usually low % but bioactive at small concentrations when combined with proper carriers.

  • Sodium hyaluronate: 0.1–1% depending on molecular weight targets.

These ranges are educational. The brand/manufacturer determines exact levels on their COA/formulation sheet.
