The formulation
Ingredient stack
Each ingredient is listed in descending concentration. Above the 1% line the order is regulated — below it, brands can list in any order.
Ingredients above the dashed gold line are dosed above 1% (the regulatory threshold) — these are what the formulation is really built on. Percentages are positional estimates from INCI order unless a brand discloses them.
A lightweight, stable emollient that mimics skin's own lipids. Softens and reduces water loss without heaviness or a greasy finish, suiting most skin types.
Barrier lipids that make up much of the stratum corneum's protective matrix. Replenishing them reduces water loss and reinforces resilience — central to barrier repair and to calming dry, reactive skin.
Skin Stacker is independent and receives no payment from any brand. Ingredient analysis is based on publicly disclosed INCI lists and the peer-reviewed literature. Percentages are positional estimates from INCI order unless a brand discloses them. Formulations change — always re-check the label on your specific batch before using.
