What does “science-backed ingredients” mean?Updated 2 months ago

At Nyrah, science-backed means that every key ingredient in our formulas is supported by published cosmetic or dermatological research, and selected specifically for sensitive, hormonal, and maturing skin.

We choose ingredients based on:

  • proven skin benefits

  • low irritation risk

  • long-term skin barrier support

Some examples include:

  • Niacinamide: supports the skin barrier and helps reduce redness

  • Multi-weight hyaluronic acid: hydrates at different levels of the skin

  • Peptides: support firmness, elasticity, and smoothing

  • Squalane: replenishes protective skin lipids

  • Ceramides: strengthen a weakened skin barrier

  • Bakuchiol: a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol

We also use clinically researched, trademarked ingredients such as PrimalHyal™ 3K, Uplevity™, and Skinmimics®, each supplied with manufacturer-provided safety and efficacy data.

You’ll find these ingredients clearly listed on each product page under Key Ingredients.

Why doesn’t Nyrah share exact ingredient percentages? This is a common question, and it’s a fair one. We don’t publish percentages for three simple reasons:

  1. They’re not required under EU or UK cosmetic regulations

  2. Percentages alone don’t tell the full story
    What matters more is:

    • how ingredients are combined

    • how stable the formula is

    • how ingredients are delivered into the skin

    • how gentle the formula is over time

  3. Our formulas are bespoke and proprietary, and percentages form part of our intellectual property

Two products can contain the same ingredient at the same percentage and perform very differently on the skin. That’s why we focus on overall formula performance, not isolated numbers.

How do you know Nyrah products are safe and effective?

Every Nyrah product undergoes full EU/UK cosmetic safety testing and independent toxicology review before it’s ever sold. This confirms that each ingredient is used at safe and appropriate levels, especially for sensitive and reactive skin.

Nyrah products are cosmetic (not medical), and we don’t make pharmaceutical claims. Our focus is on skin health, barrier support, and real-world suitability for changing skin.
