Our Ingredients

At Isa Mia, ingredients have to prove themselves to us before we put them in our formulas. We leave out the unnecessary fillers, additives, and junk to make room for powerhouse ingredients with active compounds that actually do something for your skin. See our star ingredients, what they do, and why we're seriously in love with them. 

We love doing our homework

When it comes to ingredients, we love doing our homework! We locate, research, and experiment with a variety of ingredients to find what works synergistically.

We have found that when you take unnecessary additives out of a formulation, it makes room for good and active compounds. In our experiments, we have also found that many ingredients complement one another, which is a bonus for your skin.

But like we said earlier, we love doing our homework, which means we never stop searching for and experimenting with great ingredients.

good ingredients work on every. single. person.

Why do they matter?

In our quest for better skincare, we found that many products simply don't have a lot of superstar ingredients, but they do have a lot of fillers.

Each ingredient should have a purpose.

  1. Is it an active compound that smooths skin?
  2. Is it a binder to make sure the product doesn't separate?
  3. Does it work well with the other ingredients?

We have found that in removing unnecessary ingredients, we make more room for what we call our POWERHOUSE ingredients, which are better for your skin and streamline your facecare regimen.

win - win!
