High actives, short ingredient lists, and a hard no on the eleven things that make skin worse. Full INCI lists are on every carton — and on request, below.
Most skincare fails not because the active is weak, but because it is buried under fifty ingredients that dilute it, irritate skin, or both. We formulate at the lowest ingredient count that still works, and we publish the percentage of every hero active.
Ectoin at 1%, centella at 5%, ceramides at a 3:1:1 ratio — the concentrations used in the studies, not the dusting that lets a label claim the ingredient.
Our base is cactus or botanical hydrosol instead of plain water, so the first ingredient on the label is already functional.
Every formula is built to leave the skin barrier stronger than it found it — no exfoliating acids, no denatured alcohol, no fragrance.
The hero actives, supporting players and texture of all eight formulas.
| Formula | Hero actives | Texture |

Full INCI lists, allergens and patch-test guidance are printed on every carton and available on request at care@yusobeauty.com.
These never appear in a YUSO formula, in any concentration.
Skincare is a packaging business with a formula attached. We would rather be honest about that than print a leaf on the box.
Seven of eight products ship in recyclable glass; the tube uses 62% post-consumer recycled aluminium. Outer cartons are FSC-certified and uncoated.
Essence and cleanser refills launched in 2025 — 74% less packaging by weight per 100 ml than a new bottle.
Every parcel is shipped carbon-neutral through verified removal credits. Air freight is used only when a customer pays for express.
Cactus and camellia are already contracted directly with twelve growers. By 2027 every botanical input will carry a farm-level origin record.
