Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A wax-and-oil based multi balm marketed for wrinkle, elasticity and hydration care, with the caviar-derived ingredient plus adenosine and a peptide sitting in the later half of the list and no disclosed concentrations. It suits very dry zones needing heavy occlusion, but fragrance and several fragrance allergens are present.
What makes it different?
The formula is built on plant oils and waxes (sunflower seed oil, camellia seed oil, candelilla wax, rice bran wax) rather than a water base, giving a heavily occlusive stick-balm texture. Its distinguishing actives, 캐비아추출물 at 21st, 아데노신 at 33rd, 니코틴아마이드모노뉴클레오타이드 at 39th and 아세틸헥사펩타이드-1 at 45th of 56, all appear in the later half with undisclosed amounts, so they are better read as supportive than as primary drivers. It is registered as a dual functional cosmetic for whitening and wrinkle improvement. No drying alcohol was found in the list.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
We could not place these in the list above: 파라핀, 마이크로크리스탈린왁스, 스테아릭애씨드
Did the ad claims hold up?
We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.
