ONGREDIENTS’ Key Ingredients 

Centella Asiatica

Also known as Gotu Kola, Centella Asiatica is a renowned healing ingredient beloved in Korean skincare. This ingredient soothes irritation and inflammation, boosts collagen production, and speeds up wound healing, leading to a healthier, clearer complexion. It's particularly effective for calming redness, healing acne scars, and treating sensitive skin.

Butterfly Pea Flower

Butterfly Pea Flower is packed with antioxidants and anthocyanins—more than you’d find in anthocyanin-rich blueberries! These antioxidants protect your skin from free radical damage caused by UV rays and pollution, helping to prevent premature ageing, wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness. Beyond its anti-ageing prowess, it also boasts anti-inflammatory properties, making it perfect for reducing redness and irritation and providing a soothing touch.

Green Tea

Green Tea is brimming with powerful antioxidants, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which combat signs of ageing and shield the skin from environmental damage while helping regulate the production of sebum. The ingredient also boasts anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that further support its role in maintaining clear, balanced skin. It’s especially beneficial for those with combination to oily skin types and acne-prone skin.

Heartleaf

Heartleaf, scientifically known as Houttuynia Cordata, is like a calming superhero for sensitive and breakout-prone skin. Packed with flavonoids and polysaccharides, it soothes redness and irritation while keeping sebum in check to prevent pesky breakouts. With its antibacterial prowess and antioxidant power, Heartleaf also acts as a shield against environmental stressors, ensuring your skin stays clear and protected.
