Ingredients Details
Benzyl Alcohol
Common Name(s): Phenylcarbinol,benzenemethanol,alpha-hydroxytoluene
CAS Number: 100-51-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides dual fragrance and preservative activity as an aromatic alcohol.
Why It's Used: Multi-function ingredient serving as both fragrance component and preservative โ reduces formulation complexity by providing both functions in one ingredient.
How It Works: Phenylcarbinol provides antimicrobial activity via membrane disruption (effective vs gram-positive bacteria and moulds). solvent for fragrances and difficult-to-dissolve actives. mild oxidative conversion to benzaldehyde provides sweet almond-like fragrance.
Typically Found In: Fragrances,preserved cosmetics,solvent systems
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component / preservative
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%โ1% (fragrance); up to 1% as preservative
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from toluene, or jasmine absolute
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. also listed as approved preservative (annex v, max 1%). dual regulatory status (fragrance + preservative) depending on function and concentration.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Benzyl alcohol's dual regulatory status (fragrance allergen and approved preservative) creates a formulation paradox: it must be listed as a fragrance allergen if present >0.001% (leave-on) regardless of whether it was added for fragrance or preservation. this regulatory dual identity means a preservative added for antimicrobial function triggers the same allergen declaration requirement as a fragrance added for scent.

Benzyl Salicylate
Common Name(s): Benzyl 2-hydroxybenzoate,salicylate ester
CAS Number: 118-58-1
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides floral-balsamic scent with uv-absorbing fixative properties.
Why It's Used: Natural jasmine-associated fragrance ester with mild uv protection contribution for fragranced sun-exposed products.
How It Works: Salicylate ester absorbs uv-b mildly. provides fixative function by slowing evaporation of lighter fragrance top notes. naturally in jasmine absolute (1-3%). good skin absorption.
Typically Found In: Floral fragrances,sun-exposed products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component โ floral fixative
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%โ1%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from jasmine absolute, or 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: Eu cosmetics regulation: declared fragrance allergen. ifra guidelines apply.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Benzyl salicylate's salicylate moiety provides uv absorption in the uvb range (absorbs at 295-315nm) despite not being a registered uv filter. its occurrence in jasmine absolute means natural jasmine-fragranced products inherently contain a mild uv absorber โ an incidental benefit of the natural fragrance chemistry that wasn't intentionally designed as photoprotection.

Butylene Glycol
Common Name(s): 1,3-butanediol,bg,1,3-butylene glycol
CAS Number: 107-88-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides humectant hydration and active ingredient solubilization with excellent skin feel.
Why It's Used: Preferred glycol humectant in premium and k-beauty formulations for superior skin feel vs propylene glycol with equivalent functionality.
How It Works: Two hydroxyl groups at 1,3-positions provide water binding and solvent activity. better tolerated than propylene glycol with minimal sensitization risk. 4-carbon backbone provides slightly greater hydrophobic character enabling dissolution of less polar actives vs pg.
Typically Found In: Toners,essences,serums,k-beauty formulas
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ glycol humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
K-beauty's preference for butylene glycol over propylene glycol is driven by two factors: bg's superior skin feel (less tacky than pg's higher viscosity) and its lower sensitization potential (1,3-bg has better spatial distribution of hydroxyl groups that reduces protein interaction vs pg's 1,2-position oh groups).

Ci 19140
Common Name(s): Ci 19140,approved cosmetic colorant,fd&c yellow 5 pigment
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides colour in cosmetic formulations within permitted application areas (eye, lip, or general) as specified per ci 19140 in fda 21 cfr 73/74 and eu annex iv.
Why It's Used: Regulatory compliance requires verifying permitted use category (fd&c, d&c, ext. d&c) and approved application area for each target market before formulating.
How It Works: Colour from electronic transitions in the chromophore structure โ metal d-orbital transitions (inorganic pigments) or ฯโฯ* transitions (organic chromophores) absorb specific visible wavelengths providing the perceived complementary colour.
Typically Found In: Colour cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ mineral / metal active
Secondary Functions: Antimicrobial,sebum regulation,antioxidant enzyme cofactor
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: Per fda/eu permitted list
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional
Halal Status: Conditional

Works Well With: Niacinamide,salicylic acid,other actives
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities at standard concentrations
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Us fda requires batch certification per lot; eu annex iv restricts by product type. both markets require verifying the specific permitted use category for each colorant.
