Ingredients Details
Lactic Acid
Common Name(s): L-lactic acid,2-hydroxypropionic acid,milk acid
CAS Number: 50-21-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Exfoliates dead skin cells, attracts and retains moisture, brightens skin tone, and improves texture.
Why It's Used: Dual exfoliant and humectant – uniquely hydrating vs other ahas. gentler and suitable for normal-to-sensitive skin.
How It Works: Disrupts desmosomes to promote exfoliation at low ph. acts as humectant. also stimulates ceramide synthesis at lower concentrations for barrier support.
Typically Found In: Chemical exfoliants,toners,serums,professional peels
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – alpha hydroxy acid (aha)
Secondary Functions: Humectant,brightening,barrier support,ceramide synthesis
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%–10% (daily); 20%–90% (professional); active at ph ≤3.9
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic or fermentation-derived
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Fermentation-derived from carbohydrates or synthetically produced. both l-form and dl-form used.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2/5 – low to moderate
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Photosensitizing – spf required. better tolerated than glycolic acid for most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution – spf required
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe at otc concentrations. eu: ≤10% leave-on at ph ≥3.5. mandatory spf advisory.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,ceramides,hyaluronic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: Retinol in same step; multiple exfoliants simultaneously
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Lactic acid's role as a natural moisturizing factor (nmf) component makes it uniquely hydrating among ahas. ceramide synthesis stimulation at 2% provides barrier benefits complementing exfoliating activity.

Volcanic Sand
Common Name(s): Volcanic sand,volcanic sand,volcanic mineral,silicate mineral exfoliant
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides gentle physical microexfoliation from volcanic silicate microparticles, trace mineral skin conditioning from silica and iron oxide release, and surface oil absorption for mattifying.
Why It's Used: Volcanic sand is selected for its volcanic origin mineral matrix — the silicate microparticle geometry provides polishing exfoliation alongside trace mineral conditioning unavailable from synthetic silica, with the volcanic heritage providing authentic natural origin storytelling.
How It Works: Volcanic silicate microparticles: mechanical microexfoliation (sc softening) + silicate ion trace mineral release + surface oil adsorption (sebum absorption → mattifying effect).
Typically Found In: Cleansers,exfoliants,mineral skin care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – 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: 0.5%–20%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
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: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1–2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Particle size control is critical — volcanic sand >200 μm is too abrasive for facial use while <20 μm loses physical exfoliation benefit.
