What is this product?

A 10g stick balm for spot moisture and dual wrinkle-and-brightening touch-ups, not a full-face treatment: the ingredient list opens with sunflower seed oil, a synthetic wax and shea butter, and runs to eighteen fixed oils, butters and esters across its 63 entries before water even appears near the end. d'Alba positions it as two blended parts, a larger moisture and firming side built on ceramide NP and shea butter and a smaller brightening side carrying vitamin C and glutathione, but neither active's level is disclosed and the ingredient statement itself is a single combined list rather than two declared halves. No pH, no clinical test and no English INCI list were found on the surfaces checked for this record.

What makes it different?

Two things stand out. First, the format: this is a stick-format multi-balm meant for eyes, neck, jaw, lips and spot areas rather than a serum for the whole face, and its ingredient order (an anhydrous oil-and-wax base with water appearing only near position 46 of 63) matches that spot-use design. Second, the split-purpose story: d'Alba names ceramide NP and shea butter for firming and moisture and vitamin C and glutathione for brightening, and both pairs are genuinely present, but none of the four carries a disclosed level, and the brand's stated 85 to 15 blend ratio between the two sides is not something this record's single combined ingredient list can confirm or refute.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.
