Cica refers to Centella asiatica extract and its active compounds (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acids), used in skincare for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-barrier-supporting properties. It is commonly applied to calm irritation, redness, and support wound healing.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant used in skincare to protect cells from oxidative damage and to stabilize formulations against rancidity. It also functions as an emollient and helps support the skin barrier.
Aggregated from the active ingredients in this product.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mild transient stinging or irritation on application | Uncommon | Usually self-limiting, more likely on compromised or sensitized skin. |
| Skin dryness or tightness in low-humidity environments | Uncommon | Can occur if it draws moisture from deeper skin when ambient air is very dry and an occlusive is not applied over it. |
| Redness or contact irritation | Rare | More often linked to other formulation components than to hyaluronic acid itself. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Very rare | Isolated case reports; true hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid is uncommon. |
| Comedogenicity / clogged pores | Uncommon | May contribute to pore congestion in acne-prone individuals due to its rich, occlusive nature. |
| Skin irritation or redness | Rare | Occasional mild irritation, often related to other formulation components rather than shea itself. |
| Comedogenicity (clogged pores/acne) | Common | Considered comedogenic on acne-prone or oily skin; may worsen breakouts. |
| Irritant contact reaction | Rare | Mild stinging or irritation, more likely with damaged skin. |
| Folliculitis | Very rare | Follicular inflammation associated with heavy occlusive application. |
| Mild irritation or stinging | Rare | Usually attributable to other formulation components rather than ceramides themselves. |
| Clogged pores or breakouts | Rare | More related to occlusive or comedogenic base ingredients in the formulation than to ceramides. |
| Mild stinging or transient irritation | Uncommon | Usually mild and self-limiting, more likely on compromised skin |
| Redness or itching | Rare | Typically resolves with discontinuation |
| Contact dermatitis (irritant or allergic) | Uncommon | Topical tocopherol can trigger localized redness, itching, or eczematous reactions in sensitized individuals. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis from tocopheryl acetate/linoleate | Rare | Certain ester forms have been documented as sensitizers in patch-test studies. |
| Erythema multiforme-like or widespread eruptions | Very rare | Isolated case reports following topical vitamin E application. |
| Comedogenicity / pore congestion | Uncommon | Oily formulations may aggravate acne-prone skin in some users. |

| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| like hyaluronic acid Humectant / hydrator | Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water in the skin, helping to maintain hydration, plumpness, and a smoother surface appearance. In topical formulations it is widely used across molecular weights to support the skin barrier and reduce the look of fine lines from dryness. |
| shea butter Emollient / occlusive moisturizer | Shea butter is a plant-derived fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), rich in triglycerides and unsaponifiable compounds. It is widely used in skincare to soften skin, reduce transepidermal water loss, and provide an occlusive barrier. |
| cocoa butter Emollient/occlusive moisturizer | Cocoa butter is a fat extracted from cocoa beans used in skincare to soften skin and form an occlusive barrier that reduces transepidermal water loss. It is commonly used in lotions, balms, and lip products as a base/emollient ingredient. |
| ceramides Skin barrier-restoring lipid | Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that make up a major component of the skin's outermost barrier, helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental damage. In skincare, they are added to replenish depleted lipids and support barrier function, particularly in dry or compromised skin. |
| cica Key active Soothing/repair agent | Cica refers to Centella asiatica extract and its active compounds (asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic and madecassic acids), used in skincare for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-barrier-supporting properties. It is commonly applied to calm irritation, redness, and support wound healing. |
| vitamin E Key active Antioxidant / emollient | Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a fat-soluble antioxidant used in skincare to protect cells from oxidative damage and to stabilize formulations against rancidity. It also functions as an emollient and helps support the skin barrier. |
| supple Not a recognized skincare ingredient | "Supple" is not an established cosmetic or dermatological ingredient name; it is an English adjective describing skin that is soft, flexible, and pliable, and is often used as a marketing descriptor rather than referring to a specific compound. No standardized INCI ingredient corresponds to this term. |
| flakiness Not an ingredient (skin condition/symptom) | Flakiness is not a skincare ingredient but a clinical descriptor for visible shedding or scaling of the stratum corneum, often associated with dryness, impaired barrier function, or irritation. In dermatology it is treated as a symptom rather than a formulation component. |
