Ingredients Details
Aha
Common Name(s): Aha,alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliant,keratolytic active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Exfoliates dead skin cells by disrupting desmosomal adhesion bonds, brightens skin tone, stimulates collagen production, and improves product active penetration through the exfoliated sc.
Why It's Used: Aha exfoliation is the most evidence-backed chemical exfoliation mechanism with 30+ years of clinical use data; different acid sizes allow formulators to select penetration depth and intensity for specific skin types.
How It Works: Aha carboxylic groups donate hโบ disrupting caยฒโบ coordination of desmoglein desmosomal proteins at formulation ph 3โ4, weakening corneocyte cohesion. smaller ahas (glycolic, mw 76) penetrate fastest; larger (mandelic, mw 152) penetrate slower for gentler exfoliation.
Typically Found In: Exfoliating toners,aha serums,anti-aging
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ alpha hydroxy acid (aha)
Secondary Functions: Brightening,collagen stimulation
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Fermentation-derived or synthetic. ph must be โค4.0 for aha activity.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2/5 โ low to moderate
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Photosensitizing โ mandatory spf use. start at low frequency.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution โ spf required
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe at otc concentrations. eu: โค10% leave-on at ph โฅ3.5. mandatory spf advisory.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,ceramides,hyaluronic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: Retinol in same step; multiple exfoliants simultaneously
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Glycolic acid is the most clinically studied aha; mandelic and lactic are preferred for sensitive or darker skin types from their larger molecular weight and slower penetration kinetics.

Ceramides
Common Name(s): Ceramides,ceramide sphingolipid,sc barrier lipid
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Restores sc lamellar lipid bilayers, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, repairs barrier dysfunction in dry and eczematous skin, and strengthens the physical barrier against environmental irritants.
Why It's Used: Provides direct structural barrier lipid replacement โ unlike humectants that attract water, ceramides physically rebuild the lipid bilayer architecture required to retain moisture within the skin.
How It Works: Ceramides integrate into the sc intercellular lamellar bilayer, restoring the ordered orthorhombic packing disrupted in barrier-compromised skin. the sphingosine backbone's amide bond and hydroxyl groups form the h-bonding network that stabilises the lamellar structure.
Typically Found In: Barrier repair,dry skin,eczema-prone
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.01%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sc ceramides comprise ~50% of the sc lipid mass (by weight) and are essential for barrier function; ceramide depletion in atopic dermatitis and aged skin is a primary driver of barrier dysfunction and tewl elevation.
