Cicaplast Baume B5+
Moisturizer

The ultimate dermatological SOS cream. This is a highly occlusive, paste-like balm designed to protect open wounds, chemical burns, and severe eczema. It contains a clinical 5% Panthenol. However, it is extremely heavy and leaves a distinct white cast due to Titanium Dioxide and Zinc.

CeraGlow Gel Moisturizer
Moisturizer

A highly advanced gel moisturizer designed specifically for oily and acne-prone skin types.

Dr Anne
Advanced Skin Repair Serum
Serum

An exceptionally comprehensive daily repair serum. It successfully bridges barrier repair and anti-aging by blending Ceramide NP with Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12. The inclusion of Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide effectively halts melanin transport, addressing hyperpigmentation safely. While highly advanced, the inclusion of synthetic fragrance contradicts modern sensitive skin formulation standards.

CoalFace Soap
Kayman Beauty
CoalFace Soap
Cleanser

A cult-classic physical bar soap that elegantly dodges the severe alkaline damage of traditional bars. By utilizing Cocamidopropyl Betaine (a gentle liquid surfactant) in a solid matrix, it achieves a low pH that respects the acid mantle. The activated charcoal acts as an incredible physical sponge for heavy midday sebum, while the high dosage of raw honey and glycerin ensures the skin is conditioned during the wash phase.
