Key Ingredients:

• Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Water (70%) – provides deep hydration and a fresh, comfortable feel.
• Panthenol (10,000 ppm) – supports the moisture barrier and helps reduce tightness.
• Multi-type Hyaluronic Acid – helps plump and hydrate across different skin layers.
• Guaiazulene – helps soothe and calm the look of irritation.
• Marine algae extracts (e.g., Codium, Palmaria, Chondrus, Sargassum) – support hydration and comfort.

Important Notes:
