NOTTY CURLY Calming Balm

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-25

What is this product?

A 60 ml soothing balm from the small Korean brand NOTTY CURLY, sold beside a lighter calming cream and aimed at dry, sensitive skin as a night or sleeping-pack layer. The 33-entry list is a rich emulsion of glycerin, caprylic/capric triglyceride, shea butter, olive-derived esters and five fatty alcohols with panthenol, centella extract, sodium hyaluronate, yacon root juice and lactobacillus. There is no fragrance entry, no essential-oil-named entry, no silicone and no colourant. No exfoliating acid; the only acid-named entry is palmitic acid, a fatty acid. Efficacy claims such as one-day soothing and a zero irritation index come without test detail.

What makes it different?

A short, fragrance-free and silicone-free rich balm built for dry skin, with shea butter and fatty alcohols carrying the texture; the brand's sweet wormwood and patented-ingredient story belongs to the shared line copy rather than to anything the balm list shows.

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.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

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: 에틸헥실올리베이트, 세테아릴올리베이트, 솔비탄올리베이트, 폴리글리세릴-4올리에이트, 팔미틱애씨드
