The Ingredient Glossary: What’s Inside Actually Matters
By Siauva Editorial · June 06, 2025
Clean Beauty Isn’t a Vibe — It’s an Ingredient List
Just because something says “clean” or “natural” doesn’t mean it’s effective — or safe for your skin type. The real power is in understanding what’s actually inside your product.
At Siauva, we believe ingredients should be as transparent as our formulas. Here’s your go-to glossary for decoding skincare — without the overwhelm.
✨ Key Ingredients to Know
Niacinamide
A form of Vitamin B3 that balances oil, fades dark spots, and strengthens the skin barrier — all without irritation.
Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate)
A stable, non-irritating form of Vitamin C that brightens dull skin and fights free radical damage.
Hyaluronic Acid
A moisture magnet — it pulls water into the skin to plump and hydrate on a cellular level.
Glycolic Acid
A gentle exfoliant that breaks down dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin beneath.
Centella Asiatica
A calming botanical that soothes irritation and supports skin healing — perfect for sensitive skin types.
Squalane
A lightweight oil that mimics your skin’s natural moisture barrier — hydrating without clogging pores.
