Ingredients Details
Acetamidoethoxyethanol
Common Name(s): Acetamidoethoxyethanol,acetamidoethoxyethanol,cosmetic functional ingredient,established cosmetic active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the characteristic cosmetic function of its ingredient class through its molecular chemistry at recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Acetamidoethoxyethanol is selected for the specific functional properties of its molecular class โ the chemical architecture of acetamidoethoxyethanol delivers the required cosmetic performance through documented interactions with skin biology and formulation matrix.
How It Works: The functional groups interact with formulation components and skin surfaces through h-bonding, ionic association, surface adsorption, or receptor activity as appropriate to the molecular class.

Benzyl Alcohol
Common Name(s): Phenylcarbinol,benzenemethanol,alpha-hydroxytoluene
CAS Number: 100-51-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides dual fragrance and preservative activity as an aromatic alcohol.
Why It's Used: Multi-function ingredient serving as both fragrance component and preservative โ reduces formulation complexity by providing both functions in one ingredient.
How It Works: Phenylcarbinol provides antimicrobial activity via membrane disruption (effective vs gram-positive bacteria and moulds). solvent for fragrances and difficult-to-dissolve actives. mild oxidative conversion to benzaldehyde provides sweet almond-like fragrance.
Typically Found In: Fragrances,preserved cosmetics,solvent systems
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component / preservative
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.001%โ1% (fragrance); up to 1% as preservative
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from toluene, or jasmine absolute
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu cosmetics regulation: declared fragrance allergen. also listed as approved preservative (annex v, max 1%). dual regulatory status (fragrance + preservative) depending on function and concentration.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Benzyl alcohol's dual regulatory status (fragrance allergen and approved preservative) creates a formulation paradox: it must be listed as a fragrance allergen if present >0.001% (leave-on) regardless of whether it was added for fragrance or preservation. this regulatory dual identity means a preservative added for antimicrobial function triggers the same allergen declaration requirement as a fragrance added for scent.
