Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Centella Asiatica Extract is derived from an herb plant native to Southeast Asia. It is rich in antioxidants and amino acids. In skincare products, Centella Asiatica Extract is used for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

Many active components found in Centella Asiatica Extract, such as Madecassic Acid and Asiaticoside, encourage the skin to naturally produce hyaluronic acid. This helps keep our skin hydrated. Many of these components also show antioxidant activity and may help reduce the signs of aging.

Research shows Centella Asiatica can help increase Type I collagen production by increasing fibroblast production. Fibroblast helps form connective tissue.

The combination of all these properties makes Centella Asiatica Extract effective at soothing the skin.

Other components of Centella Asiatic Extract include Vitamin A, vitamin C, several B vitamins, and Asiatic Acid.

Recent studies found madecassoside may help prevent damage from UV rays by preventing UV-induced inflammation. Further research is needed.

This plant has been used as a medicine and in food for many centuries. As a medicine, it is used to treat burns, scratches, and wounds.

this is the best essence i've tried this year and this is maybe becoming my favorite essence too. it has a viscous texture, similar to the hyaluronic acid hydra power essence by cosrx. so it's not as thick as the snail mucins we know from cosrx and jumiso as an example. i love the added peptides, hyaluronic acids and collagen in here and people with dry, dull, mature and aging skin might like it or even love it. it is safe to use once or twice a day (am&pm). it hydrates the skin, giving u plump and glowy skin without leaving a tacky finish once it has fully been absorbed into the skin. my skin has also not shown any bad effects of using the essence such as irritation,itchyness or dryness but i cannot talk for everyone, but it should be safe for sensitive skin. i recommend using 2-3 pumps of the essence on damp skin to get the benefits of the added ingredients. the price is totally okay (i got mine for 21€) but compared to other essences that have much more product, it is more pricey. the essence is really worth the try if u love the aqua oasis toner, the serum or cream from s.nature like i do. dry, mature, dull, aging and combination skin would benefit the most from the essence!! 4.7 outta 5 stars.

I’ve been using this on and off for about 2 years now to help with my sensitive, acne prone skin. Not only does it help heal my skin barrier, it reinforces it, calms down my redness, and helps to heal my breakouts faster. I’ve already gone through 3 bottles. All you need is a couple of drops a day, or even to mix it with your moisturizer, and you’re good!
