Description
From the bestselling beauty brand, discover more about skin, skincare ingredients and understanding labels.
In 2016, The Ordinary disrupted the beauty industry by doing what should always be ordinary - telling the truth.
The brand democratized skincare by making active ingredients accessible at sensible price points. The mission was simple: to reject the status quo in favor of authenticity and integrity.
Go behind the labels and into the lab with the scientists at DECIEM, creators of The Ordinary. Ingredients isn't a book about products - it's about what's inside them.
Learn more about popular skincare ingredients, and what they actually do, including:
Hyaluronic Acid
Retinol
Squalane
Vitamin C
From understanding your skin and how it works to decoding labels, formulations, and what really goes into your skincare, Ingredients is a guide to how a quiet revolution became a global movement of consumer empowerment and radical simplicity.
