Ingredients Details

Dehydroxanthan Gum

Common Name(s): Modified xanthan gum,enhanced sensory biopolymer thickener,natural origin rheology modifier

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides efficient aqueous thickening with improved sensory profile โ€” less stringiness, smoother skin feel, better cold processability โ€” versus native xanthan while retaining the electrolyte tolerance and natural origin.

Why It's Used: Modified xanthan solves native xanthan's main formulation limitation (draggy, stringy texture) without abandoning the biopolymer's core benefits โ€” enabling natural-label formulations with premium sensory performance.

How It Works: Chemical modification alters xanthan double-helix conformation and inter-chain association. pyruvate removal (dehydroxanthan) reduces anionic side-chain repulsion producing shorter relaxation times and lower elasticity (less stringy); hydroxypropyl substitution disrupts crystalline ordering for improved cold-water dispersion.

Typically Found In: Premium natural skin care,cold-process formulas

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient โ€“ cosmetic active

Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Modified xanthan inci names signal specific modification chemistry to informed formulators โ€” enabling rational selection based on target application: dehydroxanthan for spray applications; hydroxypropyl for cold-process natural-certified systems.

Glycerin

Common Name(s): Glycerol,glycerine,1,2,3-propanetriol

CAS Number: 56-81-5

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Glycerin pulls water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer skin layer (epidermis), boosting moisture levels and keeping skin soft, smooth, and plump.

Why It's Used: It is used in virtually every moisturizer, serum, and cleanser because it is highly effective at hydrating skin, is well-tolerated by all skin types, and enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations.

How It Works: As a humectant, glycerin forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, trapping them in the skin. it also reinforces the skin barrier by integrating into lipid structures between skin cells.

Typically Found In: Moisturizers,serums,cleansers,toners,sheet masks,sunscreens,body lotions,shampoos,conditioners

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Humectant

Secondary Functions: Skin barrier support,emollient,solvent

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ€“30% (typical: 3โ€“10%)

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes โ€“ plant-derived (coconut, soy, palm) or synthetic

Halal Status: Yes โ€“ when plant-derived or synthetic; verify source with supplier

Source Notes: Derived from plant oils via hydrolysis or saponification; synthetic versions also available. palm-derived glycerin carries sustainability concerns.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ€“ very low; non-irritating at all standard concentrations

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ€“ non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Extremely rare allergic reactions; generally safe for all skin types including sensitive and baby skin

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Widely recognized as safe. ewg hazard score: 1. no significant concerns for irritation, sensitization, or toxicity at typical concentrations (up to 50%).

Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid,ceramides,niacinamide,panthenol,urea,peptides,retinol,ahas/bhas

Avoid Combining With: No known incompatibilities at standard concentrations

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Glycerin is an endogenous skin component found naturally in the stratum corneum. aquaporin-3 channels in keratinocytes facilitate glycerin transport, making it integral to natural skin hydration pathways.
