Ingredients Details
Ferulic Acid
Common Name(s): 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid,coniferic acid
CAS Number: 1135-24-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Doubles vitamin c and e efficacy through synergistic stabilization, providing superior photoprotection.
Why It's Used: Essential in vitamin c serums as the c+e+ferulic acid synergistic antioxidant trio that provides exceptional photoprotection โ a clinically proven combination.
How It Works: Phenolic structure provides direct free radical scavenging. also stabilizes l-ascorbic acid and tocopherol by donating hydrogen atoms to regenerate oxidized antioxidants. absorbs uv (290โ330nm) providing additional photoprotection.
Typically Found In: Vitamin c serums,antioxidant complexes,sunscreens,anti-aging products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ hydroxycinnamic acid antioxidant
Secondary Functions: Vitamin c synergist,uv absorber,antioxidant stabilizer
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%โ1%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ plant-derived (wheat, rice bran, oats)
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Extracted from ferulic acid-rich plant sources (wheat bran, rice bran, sweet corn) or synthetically produced.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; well-tolerated.
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
Pinnell et al. demonstrated that the combination of 15% vitamin c + 1% vitamin e + 0.5% ferulic acid provides 8ร superior photoprotection to vitamin c alone. ferulic acid stabilizes ascorbic acid by donating electrons, preventing oxidative degradation.

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.
