Ingredient Philosophy
Every ingredient earns its place.
We don't formulate by trend. We formulate by function. Each ingredient in a Yubiskin product is there because the science supports it — and we'll always tell you why.
Our Key Actives
Ceramides
The building blocks of your skin barrier. Ceramides make up over 50% of the lipids in the outer skin layer. When they're depleted — by harsh cleansers, weather or stress — the barrier weakens. We use a ceramide complex that mimics the skin's own ratio.
Niacinamide
One of the most versatile actives in skincare. Strengthens the barrier, reduces redness, minimises pores and fades dark spots — all at once. We use it at 5–10% depending on the formula.
Hyaluronic Acid
Not all hyaluronic acid is the same. We use multi-weight HA — larger molecules that sit on the surface and smaller ones that penetrate deeper — for hydration at every layer of the skin.
Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)
The gold standard for brightening and antioxidant protection. Unstable in some formulations, which is why we use stabilised forms at clinically effective concentrations (10–15%).
Beta-Glucan
A skin-calming powerhouse derived from oats. Reduces inflammation, supports barrier recovery, and has a unique ability to activate the skin's own repair mechanisms.
What We Leave Out
Fragrance (including essential oils), parabens, SLS/SLES in cleansers, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, and synthetic colourants. Not because they're always harmful — but because they're unnecessary, and some people react to them.
