Ingredients Overview
Ingredients List
green-tea-extract,beetroot-extract,shea-butter,hyaluronic-acid
Key Ingredients
Green Tea Extract, Beetroot Extract, Shea Butter, Hyaluronic Acid
Ingredients Details
Beetroot Extract
Common Name(s): Beetroot extract extract
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides antioxidant protection, soothing anti-inflammatory effects, and skin-conditioning benefits through plant-derived polyphenols and phytochemicals.
Why It's Used: Plant extracts concentrate bioactive phytochemicals evolved for environmental protection โ uv, microbial, and oxidative stressors โ that translate to skin benefits.
How It Works: Polyphenols (flavonoids, phenolic acids) inhibit nf-ฮบb-mediated inflammatory signaling, scavenge reactive oxygen species through electron donation, and chelate pro-oxidant metal ions to reduce oxidative skin damage.
Typically Found In: Serums,toners,moisturizers,masks,essences
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Botanical extracts
Secondary Functions: Antioxidant,anti-inflammatory
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: No
Halal Status: Conditional
Source Notes: Contains animal-derived components (beetroot extract...); not suitable for vegan formulations.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1899-12-31 00:00:00 -0800
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Conditional
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,vitamin c,ceramides
Avoid Combining With: Strong oxidizing agents
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Plant secondary metabolites (flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids) are biosynthesized as defense compounds against uv, herbivores, and pathogens. their anti-inflammatory activity typically derives from competitive inhibition of cox-2 and 5-lox enzymes (ic50 1โ50 ยตm), while antioxidant activity involves single electron transfer (set) and hydrogen atom transfer (hat) mechanisms with structure-dependent rate constants.

Hyaluronic Acid
Common Name(s): Ha,sodium hyaluronate (salt form),hyaluronan,d-glucuronic acid-n-acetyl-d-glucosamine polymer
CAS Number: 9004-61-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Hyaluronic acid draws and locks moisture into the skin at multiple depths (surface and deeper layers depending on molecular weight), creating a plumping, smoothing, and hydrating effect.
Why It's Used: It is used because it is endogenous to human skin, making it exceptionally biocompatible and non-irritating. its unparalleled moisture-binding capacity makes it the most effective hydrating ingredient available.
How It Works: Ha binds water molecules through its many hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, creating a gel-like matrix. high molecular weight ha (>500 kda) hydrates the skin surface; low molecular weight ha (<50 kda) penetrates deeper to provide interior hydration.
Typically Found In: Serums,moisturizers,sheet masks,toners,eye creams,lip treatments,dermal fillers (injectable)
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ humectant/hydrator
Secondary Functions: Barrier repair,plumping,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ2% (effective at very low concentrations; multi-weight ha provides superior results)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ biotechnology-derived (microbial fermentation of streptococcus equi or b. subtilis); vegan-certified versions widely available
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Originally extracted from rooster combs; now predominantly produced via biotechnology (bacterial fermentation), which is vegan and more sustainable.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low; one of the gentlest skincare ingredients known
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: In very dry environments, high-molecular-weight ha on the surface can potentially draw moisture out of the skin if not sealed with an occlusive. apply to damp skin and seal with moisturizer.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes โ ideal for all skin types including rosacea, eczema, and post-procedure skin
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Exceptional safety profile. endogenous molecule โ no toxicity concerns. ewg hazard score: 1. safe during pregnancy.
Works Well With: Virtually all ingredients; especially ceramides,glycerin,peptides,retinol (reduces irritation),niacinamide,vitamin c
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities; high concentrations of alcohol in a formula may reduce its efficacy
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Hyaluronic acid naturally degrades in skin (half-life ~1โ2 days). the skin produces it endogenously, but production decreases with age. multi-molecular-weight ha formulas provide hydration at both surface and deeper skin levels.

Shea Butter
Common Name(s): Shea butter,karite butter
CAS Number: 91080-23-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides deep nourishing emolliency with anti-inflammatory cinnamic acid esters and a uniquely rich unsaponifiable fraction.
Why It's Used: The most nutritious plant butter โ unique cinnamic acid esters, lupeol, and rich unsaponifiable fraction provide anti-inflammatory and wound healing benefits beyond standard fatty acid emolliency.
How It Works: Cinnamic acid esters absorb uv radiation providing mild natural uv filtering (spf 3-4). lupeol inhibits nf-kb for anti-inflammatory activity. high stearic acid provides occlusive barrier function. rich unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%) provides phytosterols, tocopherols, and triterpenes for bioactive skin benefits.
Typically Found In: Body butters,rich moisturizers,baby products,hair conditioners,lip balms
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Cinnamic acid uv support,lupeol anti-inflammatory,rich emolliency
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from butyrospermum parkii nuts
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Unrefined (raw) shea retains more unsaponifiable fraction and stronger natural scent/color. refined shea is odorless, white, and cleaner for formulation. certified fair trade supports west african women's cooperatives.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic (refined); 2/5 โ low (raw/unrefined)
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
Shea butter's unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%, vs coconut oil's 0.5% and olive oil's 1-2%) is exceptionally rich in triterpenes, phytosterols, and tocopherols. this fraction is responsible for shea's anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties that simple fatty acid analysis fails to reveal.
