Key Ingredients — What They Do
Snail Secretion Filtrate (97% / 970,000 ppm) — The star of this formula. Snail mucin is a naturally secreted complex rich in glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, zinc, and copper peptides. It deeply moisturises, promotes skin cell regeneration, reduces the appearance of scarring and dark spots, soothes irritation, and boosts elasticity with continued use.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Seed Extract — Rich in ferulic acid, vitamins B and E, and amino acids, rice extract brightens uneven skin tone, provides antioxidant protection, and smooths skin texture for a more luminous complexion.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Seed Water — A gentle, hydrating rice water that conditions and softens skin while delivering a natural, subtle glow. A staple in traditional Korean beauty rituals for centuries.
Rice Ferment Filtrate (Sake) — Fermented rice filtrate is packed with naturally occurring enzymes and acids that refine pores, even skin tone, and deeply hydrate — giving skin that sought-after healthy glass-skin appearance.
Sodium Hyaluronate — A skin-identical humectant that penetrates into deeper layers of the skin to attract and retain moisture, plumping fine lines and keeping the complexion comfortable and supple throughout the day.
Allantoin — A well-known soothing ingredient that calms redness, reduces inflammation, and promotes healthy skin cell turnover — making it especially beneficial for reactive or blemish-prone skin.
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — Deeply moisturising and barrier-repairing, panthenol helps heal irritated skin, improve skin elasticity, and lock in hydration for a smooth, soft finish.
Arginine — An amino acid that supports collagen synthesis and helps strengthen the skin's natural barrier, promoting a firmer, more resilient complexion over time.
