Ingredients Details
1-2-hexanediol
Common Name(s): 1-2-hexanediol,cosmetic active,functional ingredient
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers characteristic cosmetic function at recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Selected for functional contribution and formulation compatibility supported by cosmetic science and regulatory safety data.
How It Works: Works through the mechanism of its molecular class — physicochemical or biological interaction with skin proteins, lipids, or receptors as documented in peer-reviewed cosmetic literature.
Typically Found In: Skin care formulations
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: 0.1%–10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional
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
1-2-hexanediol has an established safety and efficacy profile within the cosmetic regulatory framework at standard use concentrations.

Acrylates Copolymer
Common Name(s): Acrylic copolymer,carbopol ez,flexible film former
CAS Number: 25133-97-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides versatile acrylic film formation and thickening across broad ph range.
Why It's Used: Versatile workhorse polymer for film formation and thickening across diverse cosmetic product types from acidic aha serums to alkaline cleansers.
How It Works: Copolymer of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid esters. thickens via polymer chain entanglement and electrostatic repulsion. film formation from chain entanglement on water evaporation. broad ph stability from balanced acid/neutral monomer composition.
Typically Found In: Serums,lotions,sunscreens — versatile across formulation types
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – acrylic film former
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%–3%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic
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
Acrylates copolymers' broad ph thickening stability (vs carbomer's ph-sensitive thickening, requiring neutralisation for viscosity) enables thickening of acidic aha serums (ph 3-4) without neutralisation — maintaining the low ph required for aha efficacy while providing viscosity control. this acid-stable thickening is impossible with conventional carbomers.

Alanine
Common Name(s): L-alanine,2-aminopropanoic acid
CAS Number: 56-41-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides nmf-type humectant moisture retention and skin conditioning.
Why It's Used: Simple, well-tolerated nmf amino acid humectant for skin conditioning formulations.
How It Works: Small methyl side chain contributes to protein hydrophobic core but as free amino acid provides direct humectant activity via amino and carboxyl groups. converted to pyruvate for cellular atp production via gluconeogenesis.
Typically Found In: Nmf moisturizers,skin conditioning products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – amino acid
Secondary Functions: Nmf component,cellular energy
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
