Centella Asiatica in short
The K-beauty hero known as cica (in India, gotu kola or brahmi). It calms irritation and redness and helps a stressed barrier recover. That makes it a perfect sidekick to strong actives.
Snail Mucin in short
The viral K-beauty essence. It hydrates, soothes and supports healing, and its bouncy texture makes a good cushion under stronger actives.
