Ingredients Overview

Ingredients List

kojic-acid,niacinamide,caffeine,ceramides

Key Ingredients

2% kojic acid,1% niacinamide,caffeine,ceramides

Ingredients Details

Caffeine

Common Name(s): Caffeine,methylxanthine anti-cellulite,antioxidant vasoactive

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Stimulates lipolysis in adipocytes by inhibiting phosphodiesterase (preventing camp breakdown), reduces eye puffiness through vasoconstriction of periorbital capillaries, and provides antioxidant dna repair stimulation for photoprotective benefit.

Why It's Used: The only cosmetic active with a well-defined mechanism for anti-cellulite claims โ€” phosphodiesterase inhibition elevating adipocyte camp is the documented biochemical pathway, providing mechanism-based efficacy substantiation superior to most slimming actives.

How It Works: Caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase (pde3, pde4) preventing camp hydrolysis โ†’ elevated camp activates protein kinase a โ†’ phosphorylates hormone-sensitive lipase โ†’ lipolysis of triglycerides in adipocytes. for eye puffiness: caffeine's adenosine receptor antagonism reduces prostaglandin-mediated capillary dilation in periorbital tissue, reducing fluid accumulation.

Typically Found In: Anti-cellulite,eye creams,antioxidant products

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ antioxidant

Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenging,anti-aging

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ€“3%

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes

Halal Status: Yes

Source Notes: Plant-derived extract or synthetic.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ€“ very low

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; well-tolerated.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.

Works Well With: Vitamin c,vitamin e,ferulic acid,spf,other antioxidants

Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Caffeine has one of the highest sc penetration rates of any cosmetic active (logp -0.07, mw 194 da) โ€” the combination of small size and moderate logp providing excellent aqueous solubility with sufficient sc lipid partitioning for effective transdermal delivery to adipose tissue.

Ceramides

Common Name(s): Ceramides,ceramide sphingolipid,sc barrier lipid

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Restores sc lamellar lipid bilayers, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, repairs barrier dysfunction in dry and eczematous skin, and strengthens the physical barrier against environmental irritants.

Why It's Used: Provides direct structural barrier lipid replacement โ€” unlike humectants that attract water, ceramides physically rebuild the lipid bilayer architecture required to retain moisture within the skin.

How It Works: Ceramides integrate into the sc intercellular lamellar bilayer, restoring the ordered orthorhombic packing disrupted in barrier-compromised skin. the sphingosine backbone's amide bond and hydroxyl groups form the h-bonding network that stabilises the lamellar structure.

Typically Found In: Barrier repair,dry skin,eczema-prone

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: 0.01%โ€“5%

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

Sc ceramides comprise ~50% of the sc lipid mass (by weight) and are essential for barrier function; ceramide depletion in atopic dermatitis and aged skin is a primary driver of barrier dysfunction and tewl elevation.

Niacinamide

Common Name(s): Vitamin b3,nicotinamide,pyridine-3-carboxamide

CAS Number: 98-92-0

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, reduces visible pore size, regulates sebum production, fades dark spots, and improves skin texture and tone.

Why It's Used: It is used because it addresses multiple skin concerns at once without irritation, making it suitable for all skin types. it is stable in formulations and pairs well with most other actives.

How It Works: Niacinamide inhibits the transfer of melanosomes (pigment packets) to skin cells, reducing hyperpigmentation. it also stimulates ceramide synthesis to strengthen the skin barrier and reduces inflammation by modulating cytokine activity.

Typically Found In: Serums,moisturizers,toners,cleansers,eye creams,sunscreens,primers

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ vitamin

Secondary Functions: Barrier repair,brightening,anti-inflammatory

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ€“10% (typical: 5%; higher concentrations may cause flushing in some individuals)

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes โ€“ synthetically produced

Halal Status: Yes โ€“ synthetic origin

Source Notes: Commercially produced via synthesis from nicotinic acid or 3-cyanopyridine. no animal-derived sources used in cosmetic-grade niacinamide.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ€“ very low; concentrations above 10% may cause temporary flushing in sensitive individuals

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: At concentrations >10%, some users experience niacin flush (transient redness/tingling). generally very well-tolerated.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes โ€“ one of the best-tolerated actives for sensitive skin

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Extensively studied and considered very safe. ewg hazard score: 1. no significant systemic toxicity concerns at topical concentrations.

Works Well With: Retinol,peptides,ahas/bhas,hyaluronic acid,ceramides,zinc,vitamin c,spf

Avoid Combining With: High concentrations of vitamin c (ascorbic acid) may theoretically convert to niacin โ€“ use at different times if using pure l-ascorbic acid above 15%

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Niacinamide is a precursor to nad+ and nadp+, coenzymes vital to cellular energy metabolism. its benefits for dna repair and mitochondrial function make it a key ingredient in anti-aging strategies.
