Ingredients Details
Aha
Common Name(s): Aha,alpha-hydroxy acid exfoliant,keratolytic active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Exfoliates dead skin cells by disrupting desmosomal adhesion bonds, brightens skin tone, stimulates collagen production, and improves product active penetration through the exfoliated sc.
Why It's Used: Aha exfoliation is the most evidence-backed chemical exfoliation mechanism with 30+ years of clinical use data; different acid sizes allow formulators to select penetration depth and intensity for specific skin types.
How It Works: Aha carboxylic groups donate hโบ disrupting caยฒโบ coordination of desmoglein desmosomal proteins at formulation ph 3โ4, weakening corneocyte cohesion. smaller ahas (glycolic, mw 76) penetrate fastest; larger (mandelic, mw 152) penetrate slower for gentler exfoliation.
Typically Found In: Exfoliating toners,aha serums,anti-aging
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ alpha hydroxy acid (aha)
Secondary Functions: Brightening,collagen stimulation
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Fermentation-derived or synthetic. ph must be โค4.0 for aha activity.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2/5 โ low to moderate
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Photosensitizing โ mandatory spf use. start at low frequency.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution โ spf required
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe at otc concentrations. eu: โค10% leave-on at ph โฅ3.5. mandatory spf advisory.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,ceramides,hyaluronic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: Retinol in same step; multiple exfoliants simultaneously
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Glycolic acid is the most clinically studied aha; mandelic and lactic are preferred for sensitive or darker skin types from their larger molecular weight and slower penetration kinetics.

Bha
Common Name(s): Bha
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers targeted skin-conditioning or bioactive benefits through a specific mechanism of action suited to the formulation's intended purpose.
Why It's Used: Specialty actives address specific skin concerns through targeted molecular mechanisms, providing efficacy beyond what base formulation ingredients alone can achieve.
How It Works: The bioactive compound interacts with specific molecular targets in skin cells or the extracellular matrix โ enzymes, receptors, structural proteins, or signaling molecules โ triggering beneficial biological responses.
Typically Found In: Serums,treatments,moisturizers,specialty products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Specialty actives
Secondary Functions: Skin-conditioning,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.01โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Specialty active ingredient; check individual sourcing for vegan status.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1
Comedogenicity Rating: 0
Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
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,peptides
Avoid Combining With: Incompatible with oxidizing agents; check ph stability
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Specialty actives typically work through enzyme inhibition (e.g., tyrosinase inhibition for brightening, mmp inhibition for anti-aging), receptor activation (e.g., retinoid receptors, ppar-ฮณ for barrier genes), or transcription factor modulation (e.g., nrf2 for antioxidant gene upregulation). structure-activity relationships determine potency and selectivity.

Pha
Common Name(s): Polyhydroxy acid (pha),gentle large-molecule exfoliant,sensitive skin aha
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides gentle keratolytic exfoliation, skin brightening, and humectant moisture retention simultaneously โ with a skin-irritation profile significantly lower than glycolic or lactic acid from slower penetration kinetics.
Why It's Used: The gold standard for sensitive skin chemical exfoliation โ phas provide aha-class exfoliation efficacy in fitzpatrick ivโvi and rosacea skin types where glycolic acid is too aggressive.
How It Works: Multiple hydroxyl groups on the pha molecule slow sc penetration (fick's law: d โ mw^-0.7) providing gentler keratolytic action. the hydroxyl groups also bind water providing simultaneous humectancy and chelate caยฒโบ to disrupt desmosomal adhesion for exfoliation.
Typically Found In: Sensitive skin,exfoliating toners,post-procedure

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phas have a water of hydration shell from multiple oh groups that further slows sc penetration versus equivalent-mw ahas โ the combined larger mw and greater hydration shell providing the gentlest keratolytic delivery kinetics of all acid exfoliants.
