Ingredients Details
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
Common Name(s): Aloe barbadensis leaf extract,botanical extract,phytochemical active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides antioxidant protection from reactive oxygen species, reduces inflammatory cytokine production in skin, and conditions skin surface through the plant's secondary metabolite complex.
Why It's Used: Chosen for its natural origin narrative, traditional use heritage, and multi-functional phytochemical profile that supports several concurrent skin care claims from one ingredient.
How It Works: Polyphenols, terpenoids, and alkaloids in the extract scavenge ros via hydrogen atom transfer, inhibit nf-kb or cox-2 inflammatory pathways, and interact with skin surface proteins for conditioning.
Typically Found In: Botanical skin care,natural products

Sodium Pca
Common Name(s): Sodium pyroglutamate,sodium 5-oxoproline,pca sodium salt
CAS Number: 28874-51-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the most effective natural nmf humectant as the largest component of the skin's natural moisturising factor.
Why It's Used: The primary nmf humectant โ sodium pca is the dominant single component of natural moisturising factor, providing the most effective humectant hydration of any nmf component.
How It Works: Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (pca) forms from glutamine at the skin surface by enzymatic cyclisation during cornification. sodium salt provides strong hygroscopic water binding from both ionic and pyrrolidone ring interactions. 12% of total nmf by dry weight. declines with age and in dry skin conditions.
Typically Found In: Premium moisturisers,nmf-based products,anti-aging hydration
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ 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: 0.5%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic or from glutamine fermentation
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
Sodium pca's dominance in nmf (12% by dry weight vs next largest ha contribution of ~0.1%) makes it quantitatively the most important single nmf humectant. its decline in aged and dry skin (measurable by stratum corneum tape-strip amino acid analysis) provides both a biomarker of skin hydration state and a therapeutic target โ replenishing what declining nmf production fails to provide.
