Ingredients Details
Caprylic/capric Triglyceride
Common Name(s): Mct oil,fractionated coconut oil,c8/c10 triglyceride
CAS Number: 73398-61-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Lightweight, stable emollient that solubilizes oil-soluble actives for excellent delivery without greasy feel.
Why It's Used: Universal lightweight emollient base and solubilizer for oil-soluble actives in serums and low-viscosity formulations where mineral oil or petrolatum would be too heavy.
How It Works: Medium-chain length provides ideal balance of spreading coefficient, penetration rate, and barrier-sealing properties. excellent solubilizer for vitamin e, retinoids, and other lipophilic actives.
Typically Found In: Serums,facial oils,sunscreens,anti-aging products,hair products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ medium-chain triglyceride emollient
Secondary Functions: Active solubilizer,spreading agent
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 coconut/palm kernel oil
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Fractionated by hydrolysis and re-esterification of coconut oil. only c8 and c10 fatty acids retained.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ very low; medium-chain length generally non-comedogenic
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
Mct oil's medium-chain length (c8/c10) provides superior oxidative stability vs longer polyunsaturated chains and better skin aesthetics (lighter, less greasy) vs longer chain emollients (c16/c18). excellent solubilizer for retinoic acid, tocopheryl esters, and other lipophilic actives.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
Common Name(s): Cetyl ethylhexanoate,cetyl ethylhexanoate,cosmetic functional ingredient,established active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the characteristic cosmetic function of its ingredient class through molecular chemistry at recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Cetyl ethylhexanoate is selected for the specific functional properties of its molecular class โ the chemical architecture of cetyl ethylhexanoate delivers the required cosmetic performance through documented interactions with skin biology and formulation matrix.
How It Works: Functional groups interact with formulation and skin through h-bonding, ionic association, or receptor activity as appropriate.
Typically Found In: Cosmetic formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ cosmetic active
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS

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
Safety documented in cosing at standard formulation concentrations.

Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil
Common Name(s): Sea buckthorn oil,sea buckthorn berry oil,hippophaรซ rhamnoides fruit oil
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Intensely nourishes and repairs skin with one of nature's richest sources of omega-7 and carotenoids.
Why It's Used: Sea buckthorn berry oil is extraordinary: the pulp oil (distinct from seed oil) contains the highest natural concentration of palmitoleic acid (c16:1, omega-7, 25-40%), beta-carotene (~300 mg/100g), and vitamin e tocotrienols of any plant source.
How It Works: Palmitoleic acid (c16:1 omega-7, 25-40%) mimics skin's natural sebum fatty acids; beta-carotene provides potent antioxidant protection; tocotrienols and tocopherols provide vitamin e activity; lycopene, zeaxanthin, and other carotenoids provide additional antioxidant defense.
Typically Found In: Anti-aging serums,skin repair products,carotenoid-rich formulas,premium natural skin care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ botanical
Secondary Functions: Emollient,antioxidant,skin repair,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Cold-pressed from hippophaรซ rhamnoides berries; himalayan/siberian native; natural plant origin.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low
Sensitivity Concerns: Generally well tolerated; may impart orange/yellow color from carotenoids at higher concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Rosehip oil,vitamin c,vitamin e,other carotenoid oils
Avoid Combining With: High carotenoid content causes intense orange color โ use at low concentrations to avoid discoloration
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sea buckthorn pulp oil is among the world's most nutritionally dense plant oils; beta-carotene content (~300 mg/100g) is among the highest of any natural oil; distinctive omega-7 (palmitoleic) profile supports skin repair; known as 'liquid gold' in natural cosmetics.

Lactobacillus/soybean Ferment Extract
Common Name(s): Soybean ferment extract ferment
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers postbiotic skin-conditioning metabolites, antioxidant protection, and microbiome-balancing activity through fermentation-derived bioactives.
Why It's Used: Fermentation biotransforms parent substrates into smaller, more bioavailable molecular fractions with enhanced skin activity and postbiotic microbiome benefits.
How It Works: Fermentation-derived metabolites (organic acids, enzymes, peptides, and bioactive polyphenols) interact with skin surface receptors, modulate the microbiome, and penetrate the stratum corneum to condition and protect skin cells.
Typically Found In: Serums,toners,essences,k-beauty formulations,microbiome skincare
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fermented ingredients
Secondary Functions: Antioxidant,skin-conditioning,brightening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Produced by fermentation process; no animal components unless substrate is animal-derived.
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,ceramides,vitamin c,probiotics
Avoid Combining With: Strong oxidizers; extreme ph
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Fermentation typically reduces molecular weight of substrate polysaccharides and proteins through enzymatic hydrolysis, increasing skin penetration. postbiotic metabolites (short-chain fatty acids, bacteriocins, organic acids) modulate tlr receptor signaling in keratinocytes, influencing barrier gene expression (filaggrin, loricrin) and immune tone without live microorganism exposure.
