Ingredient Transparency

We show our work

Every Whole Cart formula lists the key active ingredients, their concentrations, and the clinical evidence behind each one. We don't hide behind proprietary blends or marketing language.

Key actives in our catalog

Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) at 10%: the most-researched brightening active. Fades hyperpigmentation, boosts collagen, neutralises UV-induced free radicals.

Niacinamide at 2-5%: minimises pores, strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness. Compatible with almost every other active.

Retinol at 0.5-2%: the gold standard for anti-ageing. Increases cell turnover, reduces fine lines, treats acne. Buffered in our formula for tolerance.

Glycolic Acid at 5%: an alpha-hydroxy acid that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells. Brightens, smooths texture, and unclogs pores.

Hyaluronic Acid: draws moisture to the skin surface. Works at multiple molecular weights for surface and deeper hydration.

Ceramides: lipids that reinforce the skin barrier. Prevent transepidermal water loss and protect against irritants.
