What concentration of actives do you use?

Our formula consists of active ingredients in a concentration level that is both effective and safe for the health of your skin barrier and skin microbiome. These concentration levels are advised by the manufacturer of each component and are grounded in scientific evidence that demonstrates specific benefits for the skin.

While we often seek instant results and opt for products with the highest concentration of ingredients, this can sometimes cause harm instead of good for our skin. For example, Niacinamide has been shown to be safe and effective for the skin at a concentration of 2-5%, but higher concentrations can weaken the skin barrier. Instead of just focusing on concentration, we advocate for a holistic approach to skincare. We recommend a consistent and deliberate skincare routine, rather than constantly overloading your skin with a high concentration of active ingredients. By adopting a more mindful approach to skincare, you can revitalize your skin barrier and enjoy long-lasting benefits for your skin’s overall health.
