Common Name(s): Trans-resveratrol,3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene,red wine antioxidant
CAS Number: 501-36-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides potent antioxidant protection, activates anti-aging sirtuin pathways, and reduces inflammation.
Why It's Used: Premium anti-aging antioxidant targeting sirt1-mediated longevity pathways alongside strong direct antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
How It Works: Direct free radical scavenging via hydroxystilbene phenolic groups. activates sirt1 deacetylase, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and dna repair. inhibits nf-kb for anti-inflammatory effects. may block tyrosinase for mild brightening.
Typically Found In: Premium anti-aging serums,antioxidant complexes,anti-inflammatory products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ stilbene antioxidant
Secondary Functions: Sirtuin activation,anti-inflammatory,longevity pathway
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ1%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ plant-derived or synthetic

Source Notes: Extracted from japanese knotweed (polygonum cuspidatum), grape skins, or synthesized. trans-form is bioactive; cis-form less active.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Generally well-tolerated; rare reports of contact sensitization at high concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Vitamin c,vitamin e,ferulic acid,spf,other antioxidants
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Resveratrol's sirt1 activation promotes mitochondrial biogenesis via pgc-1ฮฑ, potentially reversing age-related mitochondrial dysfunction in skin cells โ the same longevity pathway activated by caloric restriction in model organisms.

Retinol
Common Name(s): Vitamin a,all-trans retinol,(all-e)-3,7-dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraen-1-ol
CAS Number: 68-26-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Retinol accelerates skin cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, fades hyperpigmentation, and helps normalize pore size.
Why It's Used: It is the most evidence-backed anti-aging ingredient available without a prescription. it provides comprehensive skin renewal benefits that no other single cosmetic ingredient can match.
How It Works: Retinol is converted in the skin to retinoic acid, which binds to retinoid receptors in cell nuclei. this activates gene expression changes that accelerate cell turnover, boost collagen synthesis, and inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (collagen-degrading enzymes).
Typically Found In: Night creams,serums,eye creams,targeted treatment products,anti-aging formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ vitamin a derivative
Secondary Functions: Exfoliating,anti-acne,brightening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare

Halal Status: Conditional โ verify source; synthetic retinol is halal
Source Notes: Cosmetic retinol is predominantly synthetically manufactured. some natural sources include fish liver oils. synthetic is preferred for purity and sustainability.

Sensitivity Concerns: Retinization period: 2โ6 weeks of potential dryness, flaking, and sensitivity. photosensitizing โ must use spf when using retinol. avoid during pregnancy.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution โ start at 0.025%, buffer with moisturizer, use every 2โ3 nights initially
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Avoid Combining With: Benzoyl peroxide (may inactivate retinol),ahas/bhas (when new to retinol โ overexfoliation risk),vitamin c (use at different times)
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Retinol is approximately 20 times less potent than prescription tretinoin (retinoic acid) but significantly better tolerated. the conversion rate of retinol to retinoic acid in skin is the rate-limiting step in its efficacy.
