The acronym INCI stands for International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, which standardizes all ingredient names in cosmetic products.

It is worth knowing that the ingredients of the cosmetic product must be listed in descending order of their concentration up to the 1% limit. After 1% of the value, each cosmetic manufacturer can arrange the ingredients at their discretion.

Value-added claims such as organic, botanical, etc. and generic names such as thickener or silicone are not permitted when compiling the INCI list. In the INCI list of a cosmetic product, ingredients must not repeat themselves, so if you see an ingredient with the same name mentioned more than once, you can assume that it is an error.

Skilled users of cosmetic products can understand more when evaluating a product's composition than just spotting errors in the INCI list. By knowing the maximum concentrations of some ingredients, it is possible to assess whether the manufacturer of the cosmetic product arranged the ingredients in descending order of concentration. For example, if we see that hyaluronic acid is placed above water in the INCI list, we can suspect that the list has been compiled incorrectly, since the concentration of the active ingredient - hyaluronic acid - in the product cannot be higher than 2%.

When creating Moon Cosmetics, we aimed for each product to work synergistically and help achieve the best results.

By taking into account the purpose of the products and how they work together, we have created a simple 5-step skin care routine that will help prevent premature aging, fight various skin problems and give your skin the vitality it desires.

Moon Cosmetics products are divided into 5 categories, from which you can create an individual routine that meets your skin's needs by choosing the right product for your skin.

MOON skin care principles are based on five steps:
Step 1. Face wash
Step 2. Facial tonic
Step 3. Face serum
Step 4. Facial cream
Step 5. Active agent

To make it easier for you, you will find a routine step map on each of our packages, which tells you which category the product belongs to and the order in which you should apply it to your skin.

Yes. All Moon Cosmetics products are created according to several core values: we create with respect for people, nature and science. By deliberately choosing ingredients that are perfectly compatible with each other and have the least impact on the environment, we produce only sustainable and human-safe cosmetics that are based on science.

We see that the popularity of vegan or vegetarian products is increasing every year, consumers are becoming more aware and think more and more about how their consumption affects the world. One of the main values ​​of Moon Cosmetics is respect for nature, so our products are created in a way that does not harm animals and nature.

Adolescent skin also requires additional care, especially with the appearance of various skin rashes in the period of maturity. All Moon Cosmetics products are suitable for teenage skin and help with skin problems caused by hormonal changes and other problems not related to hormonal imbalance.

Sustainable cosmetics are skin care products characterized by their environmentally and human-friendly composition and packaging. For many consumers, sustainability in the production process of cosmetics is an important evaluation criterion, and for us it is an aspiration. We strive to adhere to all principles of sustainability in the production of cosmetics, so we pay a lot of attention not only to the search for harmless ingredients, but also to a careful assessment of their origin. The rapid development of the sustainable cosmetics market inevitably creates new trends that encourage people to choose only environmentally friendly cosmetics. For us, sustainability is a value that helps to create added value for the cosmetics industry.

The products created by Moon Cosmetics are safe and friendly to people and the environment. When formulating our products, we choose high-quality and allergen-free ingredients, and the fragrances we use are hypoallergenic and suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

Pure, hypoallergenic fragrances are designed for sensitive or allergy-prone skin and are like a magic word for even the most demanding skin. So if your skin is dry, itchy or allergic, you should choose only those cosmetic products that contain only hypoallergenic fragrances that do not cause any negative skin reactions.

An alcohol is a compound that has a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to a carbon atom of an alkyl or alkyl group. On the label of a cosmetic product, this compound can be called by many different names because there is more than one type. Good alcohols, or fatty alcohols in other words, are compounds with a high molecular weight and a long carbon chain. They are considered non-toxic, non-allergenic. They are used in cosmetic products as moisturizers and as a means to help skin damaged by chemical agents, irritated, itchy, sunburned or affected by other harmful environmental factors.

There are two types of alcohols used in skin care products - simple and fatty. Simple alcohols dehydrate the skin and should only be used for a very short time, while fatty alcohols create a moisturizing and skin-softening effect.

The main substance that forms micelles in this type of product is a surfactant or PAM, also often called a surfactant. After applying micellar water to the face, the formed micelles "capture" the fatty components on the surface of the face due to their structure.

Because most of these types of products contain surfactants, or PAMs, they can have negative effects on the skin. Moon Cosmetics cleansing micellar water contains vegan certified micelles, the concentration of which does not exceed 5%, and if it is not possible, it is not necessary to wash it off. However, to achieve the best result, we recommend washing off the micellar waters of all manufacturers, as surfactants left on the surface of the skin can reduce the penetration of other products.

Since Moon Cosmetics cleansing micellar water contains vegan certified micelles with a concentration of no more than 5%, it is not necessary to rinse it off. To achieve the best result, we recommend washing off the micellar waters of all manufacturers, as surfactants left on the surface of the skin can reduce the penetration of other products.

Can. Moon Cosmetics cleansing micellar water contains vegan certified micelles, the concentration of which does not exceed 5% and is extremely gentle even for the most sensitive skin.

Micellar water is a great choice for double cleansing for problem, acne-prone, combination or oily skin as it unclogs pores without drying out the skin. Micelles, along with various types of dirt, attract sebum and dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause inflamed acne.

Moon Cosmetics Cleansing Micellar Water is designed to be suitable for cleaning even the most sensitive skin and eye makeup.

Special substances called surfactants dissolve dirt by breaking down relatively large dirt on the surface of the skin into smaller particles so that the skin can be easily washed off.

Suitable. The lactic acid, prebiotic inulin and other active ingredients in the cleansing foam help not only effectively remove excess sebum from the surface of the skin, but also protect the skin's microbiota - it promotes the growth of good bacteria, which suppresses the growth of acne bacteria.

Suitable. This foam is designed to effectively remove makeup and various impurities from the surface of the skin without damaging it. Thanks to the active ingredients, with regular use of the product, the skin will become clean and irritations resulting from damage to the hydrolipidic barrier caused by harsh cleansers will be reduced.

Thanks to its gentle composition and skin-friendly active ingredients, this cleansing foam is suitable for daily use.

Yes, thanks to the active ingredients niacinamide and allantoin, among others, this moisturizing face cream is perfect for acne-prone skin and helps fight red spots left behind by acne.

Daily facial moisturizing helps protect the skin barrier from irritation and reduce skin dryness. In addition to these functions, each manufacturer chooses additional product functions by including certain ingredients that meet the needs of the skin, such as niacinamide, allantoin, squalane and others.

Moisturizer is essential because it creates a protective barrier between your skin and harsh climates: cold or dry air, which can further dry out your skin. Most often, this type of product contains moisture-retaining substances that help to moisturize and occlusive substances that form a protective film on the surface of the skin and thus prevent the skin from evaporating water.

Nourishing creams are usually thicker in consistency and contain more oils and waxes than moisturizers and are ideal for people with dry skin on the face or body. It is also advisable to use nourishing creams in the drier winter months.

This type of skin requires more intensive care: apply a serum to a clean face, then apply a moisturizer, and finish with a face oil as the last step of your routine. Occlusive (lat. occlusio: closing, hiding) oil ensures that the skin does not evaporate water.

Nourishing and regenerating creams are usually thicker in consistency and contain more oils and waxes than moisturizers and are ideal for people with dry skin on the face or body. It is also advisable to use nourishing creams in the drier winter months or if your skin is damaged, especially after strong cosmetic procedures.

Moisturizer is essential because it creates a protective barrier between your skin and harsh climates: cold or dry air, which can further dry out your skin. Most often, this type of product contains moisture-retaining substances that help to moisturize and occlusive substances that form a protective film on the surface of the skin and thus prevent the skin from evaporating water.

Suitable. This product is enriched with skin-nourishing and moisturizing active ingredients that will intensively restore the moisture level and protective barrier of dry skin.

Suitable. As the skin ages, the amount of ceramides in it decreases, which is why it is necessary to use products that contain not only skin moisturizing components, but also ceramides, vitamin E and others that will help prevent the signs of aging and photoaging.

Yes. The composition of the cream is enriched with ingredients that care for damaged skin, which will not only soothe irritations, but intensively restore the skin after strong hardware procedures such as radio frequency, HIFU, electroporation or acidic (chemical peeling) procedures. Also, this cream will be like first aid after mesotherapy or microneedling therapy.

Our skin care specialists do not recommend using the regenerating facial gel with lactic (10%) and salicylic (2%) acids together with other exfoliating products that contain ingredients such as retinoic acid, retinol, retinal, retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate, tretinoin and other retinoids. Exfoliating the skin too quickly can cause skin damage and irritation.

When using for the first time, we recommend gradually accustoming the skin to this type of product. A good strategy is to use acidic products every third or fourth night and gradually increase the frequency of use until the skin is completely used to it. Avoid using products with other ingredients that have exfoliating properties, such as retinol and other retinoids, at the same time.

When using products that contain lactic acid or other AHA and BHA acids, it is best to avoid using this type of product with vitamin C. This is because the combination of these acids (AHA acids and Vitamin C, or L-ascorbic acid) will cause the skin's pH to fluctuate. level imbalance, so each ingredient will be useless to the skin, and in rare cases can cause skin irritation.

No, because it is a skin-active, gel-like cream product that is designed to be a periodic skin care routine at home. To achieve the most effective result, we recommend that the regenerating facial gel with salicylic and lactic acid is evenly distributed on clean and dried facial skin. The product does not need to be washed off. Use in the evening.

The product formula is enriched with polysaccharides and moisturizing and skin-soothing substances that help prevent skin irritations when using high-concentration acidic products. Most alpha hydroxy acids and polyhydroxy acids promote normal skin keratinization, resulting in desquamation (flaking) of the skin. Acids rich in hydroxyl groups are moisturizing antioxidants and are especially gentle on sensitive skin. Alpha hydroxy acids and polyhydroxy acids may increase the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and collagen fibers, but may cause skin redness and/or irritation. Formulations of alpha hydroxy acid and poly hydroxy acid products that combine skin moisturizers with various sugars can increase the effectiveness of the product and reduce or eliminate side effects. As a result, this type of product can be used even on sensitive skin [11].

Toner is a liquid that penetrates quickly into the skin, which hydrates and balances the pH level of the skin. Simply put, toner is like a primer for the rest of your skin care routine: serums and moisturizers or regenerating creams.

Moisten a cotton pad with toner and spread the product on clean facial skin, before the serum. Also, you can put a few drops of tonic in your palms and pat your face skin with your fingertips.

It is a multi-tasking product that is suitable for all skin types, and if you have problematic marine skin, loss of clarity, pigmentation or the first signs of ageing, this product is a great choice.

When vitamin C, especially the unstable ascorbic acid, is mixed with niacinamide, it can turn into the compound niacin, which can cause skin redness. Also, mixing the stable form of vitamin C, ethyl ascorbic acid, with niacinamide is not recommended due to the different pH values ​​at which these substances are stable.

Although the form of vitamin C used in the Moon Cosmetics serum is photostable, we always recommend using a cream with SPF during the day.

No. The base of Moon Cosmetics Vitamin C Serum is Propanediol, a good alcohol that moisturizes the skin. Thanks to this serum base, it is enough to apply just a few drops of the product on the face and neck area.

The ethyl ascorbic acid used in the serum is characterized by greater penetration into the deeper layers of the skin, stronger antioxidant properties and more effectively lightens pigment spots. With regular use, the skin will become bright and smooth.

Useful. After the acne heals, your body begins to "compensate" the skin at the site of the lesion, producing cells that often contain too much melanin. This results in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation at the site of the acne. In order to fight such spots, we recommend using vitamin C serum , which has depigmenting properties.

Our skin care professionals do not recommend using salicylic acid serum with other exfoliating products that contain ingredients such as retinoic acid, retinol, retinal, retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate, tretinoin, and other retinoids. Exfoliating the skin too quickly can cause skin damage and irritation.

Can. You can find products on the market that combine salicylic acid with other gentle exfoliants, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs): lactic acid or glycolic acid. As with all chemical exfoliants, it's important to follow the label carefully and if in doubt, consult an esthetician or dermatologist.

How often you can safely use a salicylic acid serum depends on other products you use, your skin type, and the percentage of salicylic acid in the formula. If your skin is combination or oily, breakout-prone or acne-prone, you can use this serum every day. However, if you have combination skin and suffer from occasional breakouts, we recommend using this serum only when skin problems flare up.

Regardless of whether you use a salicylic acid serum or not, we recommend using a cream with SPF during the day. Salicylic acid has exfoliating properties, so using this type of product makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight and without SPF protection, pigmentation may occur.

Salicylic acid helps exfoliate the skin by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. It supports the natural exfoliation of dead cells from the surface of the skin and gives the skin a smooth texture and glow.

Niacinamide reduces inflammation, which can help reduce redness from eczema, acne, and other inflammatory skin conditions. In addition, niacinamide as an active ingredient reduces the appearance of pores.

Vitamin C and niacinamide have some similarities, but they differ in their benefits for the skin. Depending on the chemical form, vitamin C can lighten the skin faster than niacinamide. However, niacinamide, in addition to brightening the skin, moisturizes it and reduces inflammation.

Yes. Niacinamide serum is meant to be used every day. The composition of the product is enriched with active ingredients that will nurture problematic, pigmented and/or mature skin.

When vitamin C, especially the unstable ascorbic acid, is mixed with niacinamide, it can turn into the compound niacin, which can cause skin redness. Also, mixing the stable form of vitamin C, ethyl ascorbic acid, with niacinamide is not recommended due to the different pH values ​​at which these substances are stable.

If the serum is water-based, i.e. not oil-based, we recommend applying a cream after this type of serum. The cream has a heavier consistency and contains substances that will prevent the skin from evaporating moisture, while the active ingredients in the serum will be better absorbed (absorbed) into the skin.

Yes, given the concentrations of milk (5%) lactobionic (1%) acids, this gel cream is suitable for sensitive and/or dry skin. Lactic acid is known as a gentle skin exfoliator, while lactobionic acid is suitable for use in various skin irritations due to its high molecular weight and biocompatibility with the skin. The composition of the product is enriched with a complex of active moisturizers - hyaluronic acid, sodium PCA and real aloe juice, which help moisturize and soothe the skin.

When using for the first time, we recommend gradually accustoming the skin to this type of product. A good strategy is to use acidic products every third or fourth night and gradually increase the frequency of use until the skin is completely used to it. Avoid using products with other ingredients that have exfoliating properties, such as retinol and other retinoids, at the same time.

When using products that contain lactic acid or other AHA acids, it is best to avoid using this type of product together with vitamin C. This is because the combination of these acids (AHA acids and Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid) will cause an imbalance in the skin's pH level. , so each ingredient will be useless to the skin, and in rare cases can cause skin irritation.

The moisturizing gel cream with lactic acid is a light consistency product that goes well with the hyaluronic acid serum. In addition, if you have dry, normal or combination skin, you can apply a moisturizing face cream or a regenerating cream with ceramides on top of this gel cream.

Hyaluronic acid is useful for daily use to maintain proper skin moisture. The most important thing is to apply the serum you use correctly: apply the hyaluronic acid product to clean skin and lock it in with a moisturizer and/or facial oil.

Suitable. Moon Cosmetics hyaluronic acid serum is enriched with as many as 8 moisturizers, which will provide your skin with the necessary moisture in every way, help maintain a healthy hydrolipidic barrier and give skin elasticity.

Can. Hyaluronic acid serum is designed for even the most sensitive or damaged skin. It does not contain skin-irritating components, so this serum is safe to use after chemical skin peeling procedures.

Suitable. As the skin ages, its ability to maintain the proper level of moisture decreases, so Moon Cosmetics hyaluronic acid serum, enriched with a complex of up to 8 moisturizers, will help mature skin restore skin moisture and elasticity.

Hyaluronic acid works well with most ingredients such as: retinol, vitamin C, AHA and BHA acids and others.

Depending on the molecular size of hyaluronic acid, the most effective concentration can be between 0.1 and 2%. Moon Cosmetics hyaluronic acid serum uses hyaluronic acids of two different sizes, the concentrations of which are maximum in the product.
