The receipt

Every point of this grade, traced to the active, its dose, and the evidence.

Panthenol at 5% — strong dose

Above the ~5% where pro-vitamin B5 is a humectant that improves hydration and supports barrier repair.

Centella Asiatica present — concentration not disclosed

A recognized active, but without a labeled % we can't confirm it reaches the effective ~0.1% dose.

Pros & cons

The honest tradeoffs.

  • Panthenol at a strong, research-backed dose (5%)
  • Centella Asiatica concentration not disclosed — can't confirm it's effective
