Key ingredients
DERMA-CLERA Complex — Barrier + Brightening
Ongredients' proprietary plant-powered complex: Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract (Korean sophora — minimises pores and brightens), Paullinia Cupana (guarana — antioxidant and energising), Curcuma Longa (turmeric — anti-inflammatory, brightening), and Cynanchum Atratum Extract (soothing). Together they fortify the barrier, refine texture, and improve clarity.
Centella Asiatica + Madecassoside + Asiaticoside
A three-layer cica system: Centella Asiatica Extract provides the broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory base, while Madecassoside and Asiaticoside are named individually — the two most active centellosides for barrier repair and redness reduction. Having all three gives more comprehensive calming than a general Centella extract alone.
5 Types of HA + Ceramide NP + Panthenol
Five Hyaluronic Acid forms (Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid) hydrate at multiple skin depths. Ceramide NP replenishes barrier lipids. Panthenol (B5) repairs and soothes. Together they give this toner/softener lasting hydration well beyond a standard watery step.
4 Citrus Essential Oils — Natural Fragrance
Grapefruit, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot, and Ylang Ylang Flower essential oils give the product its light, fresh citrus-floral scent. These are natural fragrance ingredients that also carry antioxidant properties, but they do contain Limonene — a fragrance allergen. Not suitable for fragrance-sensitive skin despite being naturally sourced.
Product details
Full description
The Ongredients Skin Barrier Calming Softener is a toner-format first step in Ongredients' Skin Barrier line — a brand known for its science-meets-botanicals approach to barrier care. Applied after cleansing before serum and cream, it preps the skin with instant calming, hydration, and barrier support, setting the foundation for the rest of the routine.
The hero complex is DERMA-CLERA — Ongredients' proprietary blend of Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract (a Korean plant with notable pore-minimising and brightening activity), Paullinia Cupana (guarana antioxidant), Curcuma Longa (turmeric anti-inflammatory), and Cynanchum Atratum (soothing). This complex gives the softener its ability to both calm and clarify simultaneously — not just a hydration dump.
Centella Asiatica Extract alongside individually named Madecassoside and Asiaticoside provides a three-form cica calming system. Five HA types deliver layered hydration. Ceramide NP and Panthenol support barrier repair. Glycereth-26 is an emollient that contributes to the softener's silky skin-feel after application.
Contains natural citrus essential oils (Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot, Ylang Ylang) and Limonene — not suitable for fragrance-sensitive skin. The scent is light and fresh. 250ml generous format.
