When designing a product, YSL Beauty looks for the perfect association of ingredients to create the most efficient
and sensorial formula. Each ingredient is part of a family. Each family plays a crucial role in the formula.
Find out the 9 ingredient families and how YSL beauty uses them.

A moisturiser helps retaining water in the skin, adding and restoring its moisture, for a smoothed and softened skin.
5.Texturiser
