Ingredient & Formula Laboratory

Educational comparisons of common cosmetic ingredients. Always read the product label and manufacturer instructions. We do not invent safety facts.

• Niacinamide

  Often used in products aimed at the appearance of oiliness and uneven tone.

  Preference note: Introduce slowly if highly reactive.

• Hyaluronic acid

  Humectant used to support a hydrated-looking feel in many textures.

  Preference note: Layer with moisturiser in dry air to reduce tightness feel.

• Fragrance

  Scented cosmetic products; preference-based, not a clinical necessity.

  Preference note: Choose fragrance-free if you prefer to avoid scent allergens.
