Ingredients Details
Honey
Common Name(s): Honey,bee-derived humectant antimicrobial,wound healing active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides humectant moisture retention from the hygroscopic fructose/glucose matrix, antimicrobial activity from enzymatically generated hโoโ and (in manuka) methylglyoxal, anti-inflammatory activity from phenolic compounds, and wound healing promotion from growth factor activation.
Why It's Used: Honey is the only food-derived ingredient with documented clinical wound healing efficacy in medical grade form (medihoney) โ combining humectancy, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and healing activity in a gras, consumer-familiar ingredient.
How It Works: Glucose oxidase in honey catalyses glucose + oโ โ gluconolactone + hโoโ โ providing sustained low-level hโoโ generation that provides bactericidal activity without tissue toxicity. manuka honey's methylglyoxal (mgo) provides additional non-peroxide antimicrobial activity through protein glycation of bacterial enzymes.
Typically Found In: Wound care,anti-aging,humectant products

Squalene
Common Name(s): Squalane,endogenous skin lipid,lightweight non-comedogenic emollient
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides lightweight, fast-absorbing emolliency without comedogenicity โ integrating into sc lipid bilayers, reducing tewl, and restoring sebum squalene depleted by aging and uv exposure.
Why It's Used: Uniquely produced by human sebaceous glands โ squalane/squalene is the only conventional emollient with truly endogenous human origin, explaining zero comedogenicity and zero sensitisation potential.
How It Works: The branched, isoprenoid (2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyltetracosane) structure of squalane provides excellent sc integration through chain-length compatibility with sc lipids while the methyl branching prevents the tight packing that causes comedogenicity in straight-chain fatty acids.
Typically Found In: All skin types,facial oils,acne-safe
