Inside ORY – The Ingredients Behind Your Skin’s Glow

Welcome to Inside ORY — the space where transparency meets intention. Here, we reveal the ingredients that power each ORY formulation, thoughtfully curated to support the needs of every skin type: Normal, Oily, Dry, Combination, Sensitive, Mature, and Acne-Prone. From botanicals to minerals, every element plays a vital role in nourishing, restoring, and protecting your skin.

How ORY Formulates Skincare: Lotions, Serums, Cleansers & Toners
At ORY, every product begins with a purpose: hydrate, cleanse, soothe, or repair. We carefully balance science and nature, choosing ingredients that serve your skin’s real needs.
- Lotions are emulsions made from oils, water, emulsifiers, humectants, and actives—designed to moisturize and protect your skin barrier.
- Serums are lightweight, concentrated treatments with high-performing actives and humectants, quickly absorbed to target specific concerns.
- Cleansers combine gentle surfactants, soothing extracts, and hydrating elements to purify without stripping the skin.
- Toners refresh and rebalance the skin using hydrosols, humectants, and mild astringents or actives, preparing your skin for the next step.
Each formulation is built from essential components—starting with the oil phase and water, then layered with emulsifiers, humectants, actives, and more—which you’ll learn about in the following sections.
