Ingredients Details
Alcohol Denat.
Common Name(s): Alcohol denat.,denatured ethanol,solvent antimicrobial astringent
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Alcohol denat. dissolves oil-soluble and water-soluble cosmetic actives, provides rapid antimicrobial activity at concentrations above 60–70% by denaturing microbial proteins, delivers a refreshing cooling sensation through evaporative cooling on skin, and temporarily enhances the penetration of topical actives by transiently disrupting the stratum corneum lipid bilayer organisation.
Why It's Used: Formulators choose alcohol denat. for its irreplaceable combination of solvent power, antimicrobial activity, and penetration-enhancing properties. no other cosmetic solvent simultaneously provides the cooling sensory experience of alcohol (from evaporative cooling at the skin surface), the immediate antimicrobial activity required for sanitisers (from protein denaturation above 60%), and the transient sc lipid disruption that improves active ingredient delivery (essential in actives-rich toners and essences). for denatured alcohol specifically, denaturing agents (typically 5% isopropanol or bitrex) prevent consumption without affecting cosmetic function.
How It Works: Alcohol denat. works through multiple mechanisms depending on concentration: (1) solvent action — alcohol's hydroxyl group provides hydrogen bonding with water while the short alkyl chain provides interaction with organic solutes, enabling dissolution of both hydrophilic and moderately lipophilic cosmetic actives in a single solvent; (2) antimicrobial — above 60% concentration, ethanol denatures microbial proteins by disrupting non-covalent bonds maintaining protein secondary and tertiary structure — the alcohol molecules intercalate between protein chains, disrupting the hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds that maintain enzyme active site geometry. this non-specific protein denaturation is immediately bactericidal and virucidal with no resistance mechanism possible; (3) sc penetration enhancement — at lower concentrations (5–30%), ethanol transiently fluidises the sc lipid bilayer by intercalating between the ordered lipid lamellae, disrupting the crystal packing and increasing lipid bilayer fluidity. this transient fluidisation increases the diffusion coefficient of co-applied actives through the sc for up to 30 minutes post-application; (4) astringency — alcohol's protein precipitating action at the skin surface contracts superficial proteins, temporarily tightening pores and reducing oiliness.
Typically Found In: Toners,hand sanitisers,actives serums

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Ethanol concentration-dependent antimicrobial efficacy: below 40% — minimal bactericidal effect (insufficient protein denaturation); 40–60% — bacteriostatic, not bactericidal; 60–70% — peak bactericidal efficacy against both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses and vegetative bacteria (optimal water content maintains protein hydration required for denaturation to proceed); 80–90% — remains effective but slightly reduced from decreased water activity; 95–100% — reduced efficacy (insufficient water for protein denaturation). the 70% 'sweet spot' for sanitisers reflects this concentration-efficacy peak, not a formulation convenience.

Amyl Cinnamal
Common Name(s): Alpha-amyl cinnamic aldehyde,jasmine aldehyde
CAS Number: 122-40-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides rich classic jasmine-type floral fragrance note.
Why It's Used: Classic jasmine fragrance aldehyde for premium perfumery providing the richer, deeper jasmine note used in high-quality fragrance compositions.
How It Works: C5-substituted cinnamic aldehyde provides broader, richer floral note vs hexyl cinnamal. good skin substantivity. widely used in combination with hexyl cinnamal for complex jasmine character.
Typically Found In: Premium fragrances,luxury cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component – aldehyde
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%–0.5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – 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
Amyl cinnamal and hexyl cinnamal differ only in the alpha-substituent chain length (c5 amyl vs c6 hexyl). this single carbon difference shifts the scent character from amyl cinnamal's broader, richer jasmine to hexyl cinnamal's crisper, airier jasmine – demonstrating the extraordinary sensitivity of olfactory receptors to minor molecular changes in linear chain length.

Aqua/water/eau
Common Name(s): Aqua/water/eau extract
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides antioxidant protection, soothing anti-inflammatory effects, and skin-conditioning benefits through plant-derived polyphenols and phytochemicals.
Why It's Used: Plant extracts concentrate bioactive phytochemicals evolved for environmental protection — uv, microbial, and oxidative stressors — that translate to skin benefits.
How It Works: Polyphenols (flavonoids, phenolic acids) inhibit nf-κb-mediated inflammatory signaling, scavenge reactive oxygen species through electron donation, and chelate pro-oxidant metal ions to reduce oxidative skin damage.
Typically Found In: Serums,toners,moisturizers,masks,essences
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Botanical extracts
Secondary Functions: Antioxidant,anti-inflammatory
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1–10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived extract; no animal components.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1
Comedogenicity Rating: 0
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,hyaluronic acid,vitamin c,ceramides
Avoid Combining With: Strong oxidizing agents
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Plant secondary metabolites (flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids) are biosynthesized as defense compounds against uv, herbivores, and pathogens. their anti-inflammatory activity typically derives from competitive inhibition of cox-2 and 5-lox enzymes (ic50 1–50 µm), while antioxidant activity involves single electron transfer (set) and hydrogen atom transfer (hat) mechanisms with structure-dependent rate constants.

Arginine Pca
Common Name(s): Arginine pca,arginine pca,arginine salt of nmf pca,natural moisturising factor humectant
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Replenishes pca as an nmf component for hygroscopic moisture retention — the 12% nmf contribution of pca directly maintaining sc softness and flexibility.
Why It's Used: Pca is the most physiologically compatible cosmetic humectant because it is native to healthy sc — restoring nmf pca content addresses the specific deficiency in dry and ageing skin rather than adding foreign humectants.
How It Works: Pca (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, 5-membered cyclic amide of glutamate) at skin ph 5.5 carries a single negative charge (pka 3.6) providing h-bonding water retention from the carboxylate and the ring carbonyl. in healthy skin, pca is produced by filaggrin hydrolysis → urocanic acid → pca, maintaining the 10-12% nmf free amino acid/pca fraction.
Typically Found In: Natural moisturisers,nmf-focused care,sensitive skin
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – humectant
Secondary Functions: Moisture retention,hydration
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%–5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived or fermentation-produced.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for sensitive skin.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,barrier actives
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Nmf pca deficiency: in dry and atopic skin, pca levels are 20-40% lower than healthy controls. the mechanism: reduced filaggrin expression (common flg gene mutation in eczema) produces less pca precursor. topical pca replenishment directly compensates for this filaggrin-pathway deficit.
