Limnanthes alba (meadowfoam) seed oil provides a silky, protective after-feel.
Sucrose laurate supports gentle cleansing and helps the formula rinse away more cleanly, contributing to a fresh finish without harshness.
Caprylic/capric triglycerides and sunflower seed oil enhance glide during application and help leave the skin feeling supple and comfortable after cleansing.

Hydration and comfort support

Rosmarinus officinalis leaf CO₂ extract contributes antioxidant protection, helping support skin vitality and resilience against environmental stress.
Tocopherol, a natural mix of tocopherols, further reinforces the formula’s antioxidant profile.
