Mild Skin Balancing Vegan Cream is d'Alba's toner (55ml), built around Centella Asiatica Extract and Asiatic Acid. It is used right after cleansing, to rebalance the skin and prep it for the next step. This is sourced as the Korean-market formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation.

How it works
The Mild Skin Balancing Vegan Cream is a 55ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Asiatic Acid, named tenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Asiaticoside, Madecassoside and Ceramide NP, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Asiatic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream d'Alba sells in Korea, Asiatic Acid and all.
Key benefits
- Asiatic Acid, the active this cream is built around
- Asiaticoside and Madecassoside on the same list, actives
- Ceramide NP on the same list, a barrier lipid
- Centella Asiatica Extract on the same list, a plant extract

- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract and Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate further down the same list
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
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 Asiatic Acid and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Asiatic Acid and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Linalool. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Asiatic Acid?
Asiaticoside, Madecassoside and Ceramide NP. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Asiatic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Centella Asiatica Extract, Tuber Magnatum Extract and Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract.
Not on the ingredient list below: fragrance or parfum, denatured or SD alcohol, parabens, sulfate surfactants, mineral oil or petrolatum and added color.

28 of 30 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate emollient
- Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate is a light ester emollient chosen for a dry, powdery finish. It also disperses pigment evenly.
- Phenyl Trimethicone silicone
- Phenyl Trimethicone is a silicone with a higher refractive index than most, so it adds visible gloss as well as slip. It is common in glow and lip textures.
- 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.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Centella Asiatica Extract plant extract
- Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
- Tuber Magnatum Extract plant extract
- White truffle extract. It carries amino acids, sterols and polysaccharides and is used as a conditioning extract.
- Asiatic Acid active
- Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers.
- Asiaticoside active
- Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised.
- Madecassoside active
- Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams.
16 more explained
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer thickener
- This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer thickener
- This is a synthetic thickener that gels quickly and holds an emulsion stable across a wide pH range. It gives a light, non-tacky body.
- Sorbitan Isostearate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Isostearate is a mild emulsifier that holds water into oil, the direction a cleansing balm or an oil-based cream needs.
- Tromethamine pH adjuster
- Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose absorbent
- Microcrystalline Cellulose is purified cellulose ground fine. It thickens, holds powders in suspension and gives a soft, matte feel.
- Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether thickener
- Modified cellulose with a fatty stearyl chain added, so it thickens and emulsifies at once. It gives a cushioned, slightly bouncy gel texture.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract plant extract
- Melia Azadirachta is neem. Its leaf and flower extracts are long-standing Ayurvedic ingredients, and Korean formulas use them in products aimed at the look of congested, blemish-prone skin.
- Cellulose Gum thickener
- Cellulose Gum is plant cellulose modified to dissolve in water. It thickens, holds particles in suspension and gives a smooth, slippery body.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
- Panthenol 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.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract plant extract
- Tea Tree Leaf Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic. It is used in formulas for blemish-prone skin.
- Ceramide NP barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
- Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil fragrance component
- Lavender Oil is an essential oil carrying linalool and linalyl acetate. It scents a formula, and linalool is one of the fragrance components EU labelling requires to be named separately.
- Linalool fragrance component
- Linalool is a floral aromatic found in lavender, bergamot and coriander. It is one of the 26 fragrance components EU labelling requires to be declared by name.

- Smooth it over the face and neck as the last step of your routine.
- Give it a few minutes to settle before applying sunscreen or makeup.
- Give Mild Skin Balancing Vegan Cream 55ml a moment to settle rather than layering the next product straight on top while it is still wet.
Worth knowing
