Round Lab Pine Soothing Cica Lotion

What is this product?

Round Lab Pine Soothing Cica Lotion is a light 250ml hydrating lotion, and the reason to read its label is that Round Lab actually prints amounts for seven ingredients. Those numbers cut both ways: pine leaf extract is at 409,785ppm, roughly 41 percent of the formula, but the four centella actives that earn it the cica name sit at 0.4188ppm each, about four parts in ten million, while the centella extract itself is a working 1.1198 percent.

What makes it different?

Ppm-level disclosure on seven ingredients in a segment where disclosure at that level is rare, attached to a formula whose headline botanical is roughly 41 percent and whose namesake cica actives are roughly four parts in ten million. The second separator is what is absent rather than present: no functional-cosmetic designation, no cited efficacy test, no pH figure, and an ingredient list that reaches you through a grocery retailer instead of through Round Lab's own page. Occlusion is minimal too, a single emollient ester high on the list and no butter, wax or plant oil, so dry skin will want something heavier on top.
