Ongredients

Ongredients is operated by Power Player, a Korean company founded in 2019 by Kim Yu-jae. The brand's focus on true, carefully chosen ingredients gives it its name, and it has grown steadily in Korea and overseas.

Its signature range is Skin Barrier Calming. The lotion is a lightweight moisturiser built around centella asiatica, with peptides and the brand's NB P-Complex, designed to calm the look of sensitive skin and support a comfortable barrier. Korean press has highlighted the brand's strong skin-barrier lineup as a driver of its growth.

Alongside the barrier range, Ongredients offers a Glow Mist for hydration through the day, a calming lip essence and the Bakuglow Capsule Lotion with bakuchiol capsules.

For shoppers, use the Skin Barrier Calming Lotion as your daily moisturiser, mist when skin feels tight, and apply the lip essence before bed. If your skin is sensitive, introduce the Bakuglow lotion slowly and keep the rest of your routine simple. The lotion's light texture suits humid Australian weather. Ongredients is also a good brand to pair with stronger products from other brands, since its barrier range helps keep skin comfortable while you use actives like retinoids or acids. Patch-test any new product first if your skin is very reactive.
