Ingredients Details

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

Common Name(s): Capb,cocoamidopropyl betaine,coconut betaine

CAS Number: 61789-40-0

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Boosts foam, enhances mildness, and conditions skin and hair when combined with primary surfactants.

Why It's Used: The standard foam booster and mildness enhancer in virtually all shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers โ€“ provides synergistic mildness improvement with anionic surfactants.

How It Works: Amphoteric (zwitterionic) character provides positive charge interaction with hair keratin for antistatic conditioning. reduces irritation of co-formulated anionic surfactants via ionic complex formation. foam stabilization via bilayer reinforcement in foam lamellae.

Typically Found In: Shampoos,body washes,facial cleansers,baby products

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ€“ amphoteric surfactant

Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ€“15%

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes โ€“ from coconut fatty acids and dimethylaminopropylamine

Halal Status: Yes

Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ€“ very low

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ€“2.

Works Well With: Standard skincare actives

Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Capb's mildness-enhancing synergy with sls has a molecular mechanism: capb's positive imidazoline head group forms an ion pair complex with sls's anionic sulfate group, reducing sls's free monomer concentration (the irritation-causing species) without significantly reducing micelle-forming capacity (the cleansing species).

Dimethyl Sulfone

Common Name(s): Msm,organic sulfur,anti-inflammatory sulfur

CAS Number: 67-71-0

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides anti-inflammatory organic sulfur for skin strengthening from msm.

Why It's Used: Bioavailable organic sulfur anti-inflammatory โ€” msm provides the sulfur required for keratin disulfide bonding and collagen sulfur amino acids alongside anti-inflammatory activity, making it a functional sulfur supplement for both structural skin proteins and inflammatory skin conditions.

How It Works: (ch3)2so2: highly bioavailable sulfur. anti-inflammatory: nf-kb inhibition + oxidative stress reduction. keratin: disulfide bond sulfur source. collagen: methionine + cysteine content. anti-acne: anti-inflammatory + antimicrobial. oral supplement: joint pain, anti-inflammatory. topical: skin brightening + anti-inflammatory.

Typically Found In: Anti-inflammatory skin care,strengthening products

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ cosmetic active

Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ€“10%

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes โ€“ synthetic

Halal Status: Yes

Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ€“ very low

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ€“2.

Works Well With: Standard skincare actives

Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Msm sulfur bioavailability: msm's dimethyl sulfone form provides sulfur without the digestive hydrogen sulfide issues of inorganic sulfates. topically, msm penetrates sc readily from low mw (94 da) + high oil-water partition compatibility, delivering sulfur to dermis for keratin/collagen synthesis cofactor function. this combination of sc penetration + sulfur bioavailability makes msm the most practical topical sulfur supplement.

Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate

Common Name(s): Amphoteric surfactant,mild broad ph stable,conditioning co-surfactant

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides amphoteric mild cleansing with broad ph compatibility.

Why It's Used: Amphoteric ph-flexible surfactant โ€” the ability to adopt cationic, zwitterionic, or anionic character depending on ph provides inherent compatibility with all other surfactant charge types and low irritation from reduced net charge density at cosmetic formulation ph.

How It Works: Fatty chain + amino acid derivative + amphoteric chemistry. ph-dependent character. mild. broad compatibility. low irritation. baby/sensitive suitable. conditioning.

Typically Found In: Mild cleansers,baby products,sensitive skin

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ cosmetic active

Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 3%โ€“20%

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes

Halal Status: Yes

Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ€“ very low

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ€“2.

Works Well With: Standard skincare actives

Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Amphoteric ph character: below isoelectric point (typically ph 4-5): cationic character provides conditioning substantivity; at isoelectric point (ph ~6-7): net zero charge, minimum irritation, maximum compatibility; above isoelectric point (ph>8): anionic character provides cleansing. cosmetic formulations at ph 5-7 position amphoterics near their isoelectric point โ€” the minimum-irritation maximum-compatibility condition explaining the preferred use of amphoterics in mild sensitive skin systems.

Glycerin

Common Name(s): Glycerol,glycerine,1,2,3-propanetriol

CAS Number: 56-81-5

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Glycerin pulls water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer skin layer (epidermis), boosting moisture levels and keeping skin soft, smooth, and plump.

Why It's Used: It is used in virtually every moisturizer, serum, and cleanser because it is highly effective at hydrating skin, is well-tolerated by all skin types, and enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations.

How It Works: As a humectant, glycerin forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, trapping them in the skin. it also reinforces the skin barrier by integrating into lipid structures between skin cells.

Typically Found In: Moisturizers,serums,cleansers,toners,sheet masks,sunscreens,body lotions,shampoos,conditioners

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Humectant

Secondary Functions: Skin barrier support,emollient,solvent

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ€“30% (typical: 3โ€“10%)

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes โ€“ plant-derived (coconut, soy, palm) or synthetic

Halal Status: Yes โ€“ when plant-derived or synthetic; verify source with supplier

Source Notes: Derived from plant oils via hydrolysis or saponification; synthetic versions also available. palm-derived glycerin carries sustainability concerns.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ€“ very low; non-irritating at all standard concentrations

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Extremely rare allergic reactions; generally safe for all skin types including sensitive and baby skin

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Widely recognized as safe. ewg hazard score: 1. no significant concerns for irritation, sensitization, or toxicity at typical concentrations (up to 50%).

Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid,ceramides,niacinamide,panthenol,urea,peptides,retinol,ahas/bhas

Avoid Combining With: No known incompatibilities at standard concentrations

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Glycerin is an endogenous skin component found naturally in the stratum corneum. aquaporin-3 channels in keratinocytes facilitate glycerin transport, making it integral to natural skin hydration pathways.
