Ever wondered what those long ingredient lists actually do?

🌿 Key Categories

• Actives → deliver results (AHAs, BHAs, retinoids, vitamin C)
• Humectants → draw water in (glycerin, hyaluronic acid)
• Emollients → soften and smooth (squalane, fatty acids)
• Occlusives → lock moisture in (petrolatum, shea butter)
