Ingredients
Most skincare labels are longer than they need to be. Ours isn't. Every ingredient has a job — no passengers.
The constants
Every formula is checked against its own lab sheet, not just the marketing copy on the box. Three ingredients turn up almost everywhere — not for show, but because every formula actually needs them.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Holds moisture in place. Present in every formula, from the face wash to the night cream.
In: every formula
Panthenol
Keeps skin calm while the actives do the harder work. Present in every formula.
In: every formula

Each of these does one specific job in one specific product — nothing carried over out of habit.
Caffeine
Wakes up tired-looking skin. It's the reason CHARGE works as a morning reset.
In: KOVÉ CHARGE
Aloe Vera
Calms and hydrates while the formula cleans, so skin doesn't come out feeling stripped.
In: KOVÉ CHARGE
Salicylic Acid
Clears buildup and excess oil at the surface. The active actually doing the work in CLEANSE.
In: KOVÉ CLEANSE
Rice Extract
Helps revive dull-looking skin without adding to the heaviness of an SPF formula.
In: KOVÉ SHIELD
Vitamin C
Targets dullness and visible dark spots with daily use. Straightforward, no gimmick.
In: KOVÉ BRIGHT
Ceramides
Replenish what a long day and a hot climate strip out of the skin barrier.
In: KOVÉ REPAIR
Centella Asiatica
Supports the skin barrier so it stops feeling tight or dry after a long day in the AC.
In: KOVÉ REPAIR
Alpha-Arbutin
Backs up the brightening work, targeting the look of dark spots alongside vitamin C.
In: KOVÉ BRIGHTWhy so few ingredients per product?
Because most of what's in a typical skincare formula isn't there for your skin — it's there for shelf life, texture, or scent. Every Kové formula is built around two or three hero ingredients doing real work, not a long list designed to look impressive.
Is any of this a medical treatment?
No. Kové is skincare, not medicine. Every claim on this page is cosmetic — how a formula is designed to support the look and feel of skin — not a treatment for a medical condition.
