Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

From Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide EOP, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

From Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycerin

Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.

From Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Ceramide AP

Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.

From Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopherol, Glycine, Ceramide NP

Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.

From Benzoic Acid

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

From Benzoic Acid

Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.
