How it works

Niacinamide is named on the ingredient panel on this balm. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists. On this panel it sits alongside Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Coptis Japonica Extract and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract. Carnauba wax comes from a Brazilian palm leaf and is the hardest wax in common cosmetic use. A small amount raises the melting point of a stick sharply.

Key actives

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax

Carnauba wax comes from a Brazilian palm leaf and is the hardest wax in common cosmetic use. A small amount raises the melting point of a stick sharply.

Coptis Japonica Extract

Japanese goldthread extract, the whole plant rather than only the root. It carries berberine, is bright yellow, and is used for the look of congested skin.

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract

Cocoa Extract carries polyphenols and a little caffeine. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract and gives a faint warm tint.

How to use

Worth knowing

  • Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application if skin tends to react easily.
  • Store away from direct sunlight and high heat to keep the texture and scent stable over time.
  • Introduce one new active at a time when adding this into an existing routine.

  • Pretty much every step of a Korean skin care routine is going to have some component of hydration.

  • Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
