Ingredients Details
Linalool
Common Name(s): 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol,linalyl alcohol
CAS Number: 78-70-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the most common natural floral-citrus fragrance note with additional anti-inflammatory properties.
Why It's Used: The most abundant fragrance terpene in nature โ linalool forms the primary scent character of lavender, responsible for lavender's documented aromatherapy calming effects.
How It Works: Monoterpene alcohol activates gaba-a receptors for anti-anxiety activity (same receptor as benzodiazepines). inhibits glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. antimicrobial via membrane disruption. anti-inflammatory via nf-kb inhibition.
Typically Found In: Virtually all fragranced cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component โ tertiary terpene alcohol
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.001%โ3%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from lavender, coriander, bergamot
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: Eu cosmetics regulation: declared fragrance allergen on label when >0.001% (leave-on) or >0.01% (rinse-off). ifra guidelines apply.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Linalool's gaba-a receptor activation provides a pharmacological basis for lavender aromatherapy's documented anxiolytic effects. the same receptor modulation used by benzodiazepine drugs (such as diazepam) is activated by inhaled linalool vapor, providing receptor-mediated calming without the tolerance and dependence associated with pharmaceutical gaba-a modulators.

Mica
Common Name(s): Muscovite mica,sericite,potassium aluminum silicate
CAS Number: 12001-26-2
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides shimmer and pearlescence from flat-platelet mica crystal light reflection.
Why It's Used: Universal cosmetic shimmer ingredient โ mica's flat-platelet morphology provides the directional light reflection responsible for the dimensional shimmer effect in all pearlescent cosmetics.
How It Works: Flat platelets (1-200ฮผm) reflect and refract light specularly producing shimmer. when coated with tio2 or iron oxides, provides colour-shifting pearlescence via thin-film optical interference. natural slip from platelet layering reduces application friction.
Typically Found In: Foundation,eyeshadow,highlighter,blush โ virtually all colour cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Colorant โ mineral shimmer pigment
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care

Typical Concentration Range: 0.01%โ50%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ natural mineral
Halal Status: Yes

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: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Mica-based pearlescent pigments (mica coated with tio2 or iron oxides) produce colour-shifting optical effects via thin-film light interference โ the same phenomenon as oil on water or butterfly wings. as tio2 coating thickness increases, the interference wavelength shifts from silver โ gold โ red โ violet โ blue โ green, creating the entire pearlescent colour palette from a single mineral substrate by controlling coating thickness.
