Ingredients Details
Almond Oil
Common Name(s): Almond oil,botanical carrier oil,emollient fatty acid delivery
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Softens and conditions skin by integrating into sc lipid bilayers, delivers essential fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, linolenic) for barrier lipid synthesis, and provides rich, non-stripping moisturisation.
Why It's Used: Natural carrier oils provide the closest compositional match to endogenous sc lipids, delivering emolliency through genuine barrier integration rather than simple surface occlusion.
How It Works: Fatty acid triglycerides partition into sc lipid bilayers โ oleic acid (c18:1) provides fluid, emollient integration; linoleic acid (c18:2) acts as essential ceramide precursor; saturated fatty acids provide more occlusive barrier reinforcement.
Typically Found In: Moisturisers,facial oils,natural skin care
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: 1%โ100%
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
Essential fatty acids โ linoleic (c18:2, n-6) and ฮฑ-linolenic (c18:3, n-3) acids โ cannot be synthesised by the body; topical delivery through carrier oils provides direct substrate for ceramide and eicosanoid biosynthesis in the epidermis.

Avocado Oil
Common Name(s): Avocado oil,avocado butter (solid fraction)
CAS Number: 8024-32-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides deep moisturization with rich oleic acid, phytosterols, and lutein antioxidants for mature, dry skin.
Why It's Used: Rich, deeply penetrating oil for dry and mature skin requiring intensive emolliency beyond lightweight oils.
How It Works: Very high oleic acid (55-74%) penetrates deeply into stratum corneum for conditioning. beta-sitosterol and other phytosterols provide barrier repair and mild anti-inflammatory activity. lutein provides antioxidant protection. high unsaponifiable fraction (2-11%) provides unique skin bioactives.
Typically Found In: Rich moisturizers,dry skin oils,anti-aging formulas,body butters
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Deep penetrating emollient,phytosterol activity,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ50%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from persea gratissima fruits
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Cold-pressed from avocado fruit flesh. high unsaponifiable fraction (unsaponified lipids) makes avocado oil uniquely bioactive vs other oils with low unsaponifiable content.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 3/5 โ moderate; high oleic acid; test for skin type
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
Avocado oil's unusually high unsaponifiable fraction (2-11% vs <2% for most plant oils) contains phytosterols, terpenes, vitamin e, and chlorophyll that remain after saponification and provide skin-active benefits not present in most other plant oils. this unsaponifiable fraction is what makes avocado oil pharmacologically distinct from simple fatty acid triglyceride oils.

Beeswax
Common Name(s): Cera alba (white),cera flava (yellow),apis mellifera wax
CAS Number: 8012-89-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides natural wax structure and emolliency for cosmetic texture and lip balm applications.
Why It's Used: The original cosmetic wax โ provides natural, hard-texture structure for lip balms, sticks, and creams with emollient skin conditioning.
How It Works: Complex mixture of esters (wax esters), hydrocarbons (hentriacontane), and fatty acids provides semi-crystalline structure. melting point 62-65ยฐc enables stable solid products. emulsifying capacity from free cerotic acid content.
Typically Found In: Lip balms,cosmetic sticks,creams,natural cosmetics

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Beeswax's multi-component wax ester composition (myricyl palmitate as primary component) provides a unique crystalline structure that gives lip balms and cosmetic sticks their characteristic 'dragรฉe' glide โ different from synthetic wax esters that lack this crystalline lattice diversity.
