Ingredients Details
Borax
Common Name(s): Borax/borate,emulsification ph adjuster,sodium borate classic
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Adjusts formulation ph, buffers at ph 9โ10, and reacts with beeswax fatty acids to form sodium soap that acts as the primary emulsifier in classical cold cream and vanishing cream formulations.
Why It's Used: Borax/beeswax is the oldest systematic o/w emulsification system in cosmetics โ the in-situ soap formation between borax and beeswax cerotic acid provides a self-emulsifying cream base still used in traditional formulations.
How It Works: Borax (naโbโoโยท10hโo, pka ~9.2) provides alkaline ph 9โ10 buffering in solution. reacts with beeswax fatty acids (cerotic acid, c26:0): rcooh + naoh(from borax) โ rcoona (soap). the in-situ soap acts as emulsifier for the mineral oil or beeswax oil phase, producing a classic o/w cream without added synthetic emulsifiers.
Typically Found In: Classical cream formulation,traditional cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ cosmetic active
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Borax is restricted in eu leave-on cosmetics (maximum 0.1% as boric acid equivalent due to reproductive toxicity concerns). the traditional borax/beeswax cream is now primarily a historical formulation โ modern formulations use dedicated emulsifier systems with better safety margins.

Glycerine
Common Name(s): Glycerin,universal humectant,water-binding skin conditioning
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Attracts and retains moisture in the sc, improves skin barrier function at low concentrations, provides gentle keratolytic softening, and acts as a co-solvent for water-soluble actives.
Why It's Used: The reference humectant โ lowest cost, best safety profile, universal formulation compatibility, and present naturally in the sc via lipase-mediated glycerolipid hydrolysis makes glycerin the industry standard against which all humectants are benchmarked.
How It Works: Three hydroxyl groups form 6 h-bonds with water molecules per glycerol unit โ the highest oh-group density per carbon of any commercial humectant. glycerin also down-regulates epidermal serine proteases that overactivate in dry sc, improving desquamation and barrier integrity.
Typically Found In: All cosmetics,universal
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare

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
Epidermal lipases hydrolyse sc glycerophospholipids during cornification, releasing glycerol that contributes to the natural nmf โ topical glycerin directly supplements this endogenous sc humectant pool.
