Ingredients Details
Phytosterols
Common Name(s): Plant sterols,beta-sitosterol complex,phytosterol mix
CAS Number: 83-46-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides plant sterol barrier lipid analogue with anti-inflammatory and 5-alpha-reductase inhibiting activity.
Why It's Used: Comprehensive plant sterol complex providing barrier repair, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic activity in a natural plant-derived mixture mimicking cholesterol's skin functions.
How It Works: Beta-sitosterol integrates into stratum corneum lipid bilayers as cholesterol structural analogue for barrier repair. inhibits 5-alpha-reductase type i and ii for dht reduction. anti-inflammatory via nf-kb inhibition. campesterol and stigmasterol provide complementary barrier and anti-inflammatory activities.
Typically Found In: Barrier repair creams,anti-acne products,anti-aging formulas
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ plant sterol complex
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ3%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from vegetable oils (soy, tall oil, avocado)
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
Phytosterols' multiple concurrent mechanisms (barrier repair + 5-ar inhibition + anti-inflammation) from a single ingredient class provides comprehensive acne-relevant benefits from natural plant cell membrane components. beta-sitosterol's structural identity to cholesterol (one ethyl group difference at c-24) allows barrier integration while the different c-24 substitution subtly alters enzyme binding, providing 5-ar inhibition not seen with mammalian cholesterol.

Squalane
Common Name(s): Perhydrosqualene,2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyltetracosane
CAS Number: 0111-01-03
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides endogenous-skin-identical emolliency with exceptional stability and skin compatibility.
Why It's Used: The most skin-compatible emollient โ chemically identical to human sebum squalene component with outstanding tolerability across all skin types.
How It Works: Fully saturated hydrocarbon with zero oxidation sites provides exceptional stability unlike squalene's 6 double bonds. integrates into stratum corneum lipid bilayers with near-perfect biocompatibility. provides antioxidant protection to formulation via radical quenching.
Typically Found In: Facial oils,serums,non-comedogenic moisturizers,luxury body care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Maximum biocompatibility,antioxidant stabilizer,non-comedogenic
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional โ plant-derived (sugarcane, olive) preferred; shark liver-derived being phased out
Halal Status: Yes โ plant-derived
Source Notes: Sustainable plant-derived squalane from sugarcane fermentation (amyris) or olive oil fractionation is preferred over shark liver-derived. chemically identical regardless of source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
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
Squalene constitutes approximately 12-15% of human sebum โ the highest proportion of any skin lipid. topical squalane (stable, hydrogenated form) replenishes this abundant endogenous skin lipid. the complete absence of oxidizable double bonds (unlike squalene's 6 double bonds) eliminates the pro-oxidant concerns of natural squalene oxidation.
