Formulation
What goes in, and why.
Every NOIR formula is built around a small number of ingredients doing real work — not a long list designed to impress. Here are the ones you'll see most often on our labels.
Retinal
A faster-converting form of vitamin A used in the Renewal Serum for resurfacing and texture.
Niacinamide
Vitamin B3, used across our line to support the skin barrier and even tone.
Ceramides
Lipids that make up part of the skin's natural barrier — central to the Barrier Cream.
Squalane
A lightweight, stable plant-derived emollient used to soften without a heavy finish.
Hyaluronic Acid
A humectant that holds up to 1000x its weight in water, used to support hydration.
Bakuchiol
A plant-derived retinol alternative, used alongside retinal in the Renewal Serum for tolerability.
