Formula Guide

Discover the Niklora formulas used across our collections — what each one is built from, and what it does.

GLAZE COMPLEX

Our hero formula. Three molecular weights of hyaluronic acid layered with 5% niacinamide, panthenol and cold-pressed marula, so hydration reaches the surface and the deeper layers at once. Absorbs in seconds with no tack and no pilling.

  • Hydration — 5 of 5
  • Strength — 2 of 5
  • Texture — 4 of 5
  • Weight — 2 of 5

Found in: Hydrating Serum, Prep Essence, Reviving Mist, Overnight Mask, Body Serum

CERAMIDE BARRIER

Ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids delivered at the 3:1:1 ratio the skin barrier is actually built from — not an approximation of it. Cica and squalane calm reactivity while the barrier rebuilds. Rich, never heavy, with a satin finish.

  • Hydration — 4 of 5
  • Strength — 4 of 5
  • Texture — 5 of 5
  • Weight — 4 of 5

Found in: Repair Cream, Cleansing Balm

PEPTIDE LIP

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 for volume over time, with shea and cupuaçu butters sealing moisture on contact. A cushioned texture that glides without tack or pull, clear or carrying sheer mineral pigment.

  • Hydration — 5 of 5
  • Strength — 2 of 5
  • Texture — 5 of 5
  • Weight — 3 of 5

Found in: Lip Treatment, Tinted Lip Treatment

SILK CREAM

A silicone-free cream base with deliberately extended blend time, so color keeps moving until you stop working it. Melts at skin temperature, diffuses at the edge, sets to a soft satin that won't lift the base underneath.

  • Hydration — 3 of 5
  • Strength — 1 of 5
  • Texture — 5 of 5
  • Weight — 2 of 5

Found in: Cheek Stick, Bronzing Stick

UNDERSTANDING STRENGTH

Every Niklora formula is rated on a four-level strength scale, so you can shop by how active a product actually is — not by guessing from the label.

  • Gentle — for reactive, compromised or just-starting skin. Nothing that stings.
  • Daily — the core rotation. Active enough to work, mild enough for twice a day.
  • Active — higher concentrations for skin that has built tolerance. Introduce one at a time.
  • Clinical — our most concentrated formulas. Patch test first.
