Squalane

Why Squalane Is a Game-Changer in Coaya Products

Squalane is one of the most effective and versatile ingredients in skincare, and here’s why it’s a standout in co:aya formulations:

Mimics Your Skin's Natural Oils

Squalane is a lightweight, fast-absorbing ingredient that mirrors your skin's natural sebum, making it highly compatible and non-comedogenic.

Reinforces the Skin Barrier

Derived from plants, squalane helps restore and strengthen the skin's lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss while also offering protection against environmental stressors.

Suitable for All Skin Types

Whether you have oily, acne-prone, dry, or sensitive skin, squalane works without clogging pores, making it a universal solution.

Enhanced Penetration

Pairing squalane-based products with active serums like the Hydrating Serum boosts ingredient absorption, ensuring maximum efficacy without irritation.


Why You’ll Love It

Squalane is not only a protective shield but also a hydrator that nourishes your skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and balanced.


Chamomile Extract

Why Coaya Chooses Chamomile for Sensitive Skin

Chamomile is more than just a soothing herb—it’s a powerhouse ingredient for anyone with sensitive or reactive skin. Here’s why we chose chamomile for our formulas:

Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Chamomile contains bisabolol, a natural compound that calms irritation and reduces redness.

Antioxidant-Rich

Chamomile is loaded with antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, helping to prevent premature aging and protect against environmental damage.

Ideal for Sensitive Skin

Whether you’re battling redness, irritation, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, chamomile helps calm and restore balance. Its gentle yet effective nature makes it suitable for daily use in your skincare routine.


Why You’ll Love It

Chamomile helps soothe and heal your skin, transforming how it feels and looks, leaving you with a calm, clear complexion.


Bakuchiol

Why Co:aya Chooses Bakuchiol Over Retinol

When it comes to anti-aging skincare, retinol has long been celebrated as the gold standard. However, at co:aya, we’ve chosen a different path—one that prioritizes results without compromise. Enter bakuchiol, a plant-based powerhouse that delivers all the benefits of retinol with none of the drawbacks. Here’s why bakuchiol is a key ingredient in our approach to effective, gentle skincare.
