Ingredients Full List
What's in Burton Kimball
Every ingredient in the formula, what it does, and why it's there. No proprietary blends. No hidden actives. No marketing math.
The formula is a rich, lightweight cream — peptides, hydrating oils, botanical extracts, and amino acids working together to support firmer, smoother, more resilient skin. Below is the full list of active and supporting ingredients. The complete INCI list (the version printed on the jar) is at the bottom of this page.
The Four Doing the Heavy Lifting
These are the four ingredients that carry the formula. Everything else supports them.
Multi-Peptide Complex A blend of five peptides that work together to support firmness, encourage collagen and elastin renewal, and reduce visible signs of aging. Peptides are short chains of amino acids — they're the messengers that signal skin to maintain its structure over time.
Sodium Hyaluronate The salt form of hyaluronic acid, in a low molecular weight that allows it to penetrate beyond the surface. Deeply hydrates and plumps skin from below, rather than just sitting on top.
Shea Butter Softens skin and reinforces the lipid layer — the natural barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Part of why the cream feels good going on, not just after.
Green Tea Leaf Extract A potent antioxidant that helps defend skin against environmental stress — sun, pollution, wind, screens. Slows the kind of oxidative damage that ages skin quietly over years.
The Supporting Cast
These ingredients round out the formula — supporting hydration, soothing skin, and reinforcing the barrier.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Soothes and hydrates. Helps support the skin's natural recovery process, especially after exposure or irritation.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) Restores moisture and contributes to a smoother, more supple complexion. Often used in formulas designed for sensitive or stressed skin.
Avocado Oil Rich in essential fatty acids that nourish skin and condition the barrier. Adds depth to the formula without making it heavy.
Jojoba Seed Oil Balances skin's natural oil production and provides lightweight emollience. Closely matches the structure of skin's own sebum, which is why it absorbs cleanly.
Gotu Kola Extract A botanical long used for skin recovery and resilience. Supports tone, elasticity, and overall skin vitality.
Glycerin (Vegetable) A humectant that draws moisture into skin and helps it stay there. One of the most widely studied and well-tolerated hydrating ingredients in skincare.
