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 60โ70% 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 โ 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 โ above 60% concentration, ethanol denatures microbial proteins by disrupting non-covalent bonds maintaining protein secondary and tertiary structure โ 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 โ at lower concentrations (5โ30%), 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 โ 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% โ minimal bactericidal effect (insufficient protein denaturation); 40โ60% โ bacteriostatic, not bactericidal; 60โ70% โ peak bactericidal efficacy against both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses and vegetative bacteria (optimal water content maintains protein hydration required for denaturation to proceed); 80โ90% โ remains effective but slightly reduced from decreased water activity; 95โ100% โ reduced efficacy (insufficient water for protein denaturation). the 70% 'sweet spot' for sanitisers reflects this concentration-efficacy peak, not a formulation convenience.

Coco-caprylate
Common Name(s): Coco-caprylate,coco-caprylate,cosmetic functional ingredient,established active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides emollient conditioning with spreading value determined by the ester molecular architecture.
Why It's Used: Coco-caprylate is selected for its c8 caprylic ester โ the c-chain length provides ultra-light fast-dry short-chain emolliency, which distinguishes coco-caprylate from esters of adjacent chain lengths in the same polarity tier.
How It Works: Ester: acid chain โ emolliency type; alcohol chain โ spreading speed and skin feel.
