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
The salt form of hyaluronic acid, a moisture magnet. It draws water to the skin surface and keeps skin feeling plump and comfortable. It suits every skin type, including oily skin that is dehydrated by AC. Found in every Kové formula.

Each of these does one specific job in one specific product — nothing carried over out of habit.

Most of what sits in a typical skincare formula is there for shelf life, texture or scent, not for your skin. Kové builds each product around two or three hero ingredients that do real work, so the label stays short and every ingredient has a job.
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.
