Bonajour's Melting Glow Calming Cream (50ml) is built around Allantoin and Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate, a cream meant to melt into skin on contact as the last leave-on step for redness and tightness rather than a heavier, sit-on-top balm.

Key actives
2Hydrogenated Polydeceneemollient
Hydrogenated Polydecene is a synthetic hydrocarbon emollient used in place of mineral oil. It is stable, has no scent, and gives a cushioned slip without oxidising. The panel names it second on this cream's list, beside Allantoin.
11Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extractplant extract
Zanthoxylum Piperitum is Korean pepper. Its fruit extract is used as a conditioning plant extract and is often paired with pulsatilla and usnea in Korean formulas. It is named eleventh on this cream's list, alongside Allantoin.
12Pulsatilla Koreana Extractplant extract
Korean pasque flower extract, a native anemone relative. It is used as a conditioning plant extract, usually beside other Korean herbal extracts. It is named twelfth on this cream's list, alongside Allantoin.
13Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extractplant extract
Beard lichen extract, carrying usnic acid. It resists microbes, so formulas use it both as a plant extract and as part of a preservative system. It is named thirteenth on this cream's list, alongside Allantoin.
15Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named fifteenth.

Where each key active sits on the declared ingredient list, by entry number. Position is proportion: the further forward, the larger its share.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Allantoin and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Allantoin?
Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract and Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Hydrogenated Polydecene, Isononyl Isononanoate and Panthenol.
Not on the ingredient list below: fragrance or parfum, denatured or SD alcohol, essential oils, silicones, parabens, sulfate surfactants, mineral oil or petrolatum and added color.

16 of 17 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Hydrogenated Polydecene emollient
- Hydrogenated Polydecene is a synthetic hydrocarbon emollient used in place of mineral oil. It is stable, has no scent, and gives a cushioned slip without oxidising.
- Isononyl Isononanoate emollient
- Isononyl Isononanoate is a branched ester used as a dry emollient. It spreads far for its weight and leaves almost no residue, which is why it appears in formulas that have to feel weightless.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate is a plant-derived emulsifier for water-in-oil formulas. It appears in cleansing balms and rich creams built without PEGs.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate emulsifier
- A water-in-oil emulsifier used in sticks and high-oil formulas, where it keeps the water phase in fine droplets so the texture stays smooth.
- Dexpanthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Magnesium Sulfate mineral
- Magnesium Sulfate is Epsom salt, used as a mineral salt in the water phase. Despite the name it is not a cleansing sulfate and does not foam.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract plant extract
- Zanthoxylum Piperitum is Korean pepper. Its fruit extract is used as a conditioning plant extract and is often paired with pulsatilla and usnea in Korean formulas.
- Pulsatilla Koreana Extract plant extract
- Korean pasque flower extract, a native anemone relative. It is used as a conditioning plant extract, usually beside other Korean herbal extracts.
4 more explained
- Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract plant extract
- Beard lichen extract, carrying usnic acid. It resists microbes, so formulas use it both as a plant extract and as part of a preservative system.
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid preservative booster
- A chelator that works by denying microbes the iron they need, which lets a formula hold at a skin-friendly pH with less conventional preservative.
- Allantoin active
- Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.

How it works
The Melting Glow Calming Cream is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named fifteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract and Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Allantoin stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. Bonajour sells this Allantoin cream in Korea, and this is that version.
How to use
- Apply as the last step of a routine, warming a small amount between the fingers before pressing over face and neck.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Introduce this cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Allantoin rather than to three changes at once.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about skin care, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Pretty much every step of a Korean skin care routine is going to have some component of hydration.
