Why This Works for Your Specific Profile
Damage Index:
Damaged hair structure cannot withstand product intensity causing increased breakage and further compromise
Water Quality:
Soft or moderately hard water does not require intensive treatment causing over-cleansing and dryness
Hair:
Porous structure over-absorbs product leading to buildup, stiffness, or excessive dryness
Active Lifestyle:
Low activity produces insufficient stress or buildup making product intensity unnecessarily harsh

Ingredients Details
Amino Acids
Common Name(s): Amino acids,cosmetic active,functional ingredient
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers characteristic cosmetic function — skin conditioning, protection, preservation, or active biological benefit — at recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Selected for its functional contribution and formulation compatibility — supported by cosmetic science literature and regulatory safety assessment.
How It Works: Works through the mechanism of its molecular class — physicochemical interaction with the formulation or biological interaction with skin proteins, lipids, or receptors as documented in peer-reviewed literature.
Typically Found In: Skin care formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – cosmetic active
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%–10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional

Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1–2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Amino acids delivers documented functional benefit with an established safety profile within the cosmetic regulatory framework (cosing eu, cir usa).

Capryloyl Glycine
Common Name(s): N-capryloyl glycine,dermosoft gmcy
CAS Number: 14246-53-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides antimicrobial and sebum-regulating activity from naturally-derived caprylic acid-glycine conjugate.
Why It's Used: Natural multifunctional antimicrobial — capryloyl glycine's anti-seborrheic and antimicrobial dual action provides comprehensive oily skin and anti-dandruff benefits from a single naturally-sourced ingredient.
How It Works: Acyl glycine conjugate provides antimicrobial via fatty acid membrane disruption mechanism. inhibits lipase enzyme reducing sebum fatty acid liberation (sebum regulation). mild surfactant from carboxylate head group. anti-dandruff via malassezia inhibition.
Typically Found In: Anti-seborrheic products,natural antimicrobials,anti-dandruff
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – acyl amino acid surfactant/preservative
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%–2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – caprylic acid from coconut + glycine from plant fermentation
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1–2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Capryloyl glycine's sebum regulation via lipase inhibition mirrors the same mechanism as triethyl citrate and ethylhexylglycerin — convergent mechanism discovery across structurally diverse ingredient classes. the parallel lipase inhibition by ester-based (triethyl citrate), ether-based (ethylhexylglycerin), and amide-based (capryloyl glycine) compounds validates lipase inhibition as a universally accessible target for sebum control through multiple chemical approaches.

Carbomer
Common Name(s): Carbopol,polyacrylic acid,carboxyvinyl polymer
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides transparent gel textures and thickening at very low concentrations via ph-responsive swelling.
Why It's Used: The most widely used gel thickener – provides crystal-clear, stable gels at concentrations as low as 0.1-0.5% with ph-controlled viscosity.
How It Works: Highly crosslinked polyacrylic acid remains tightly coiled at acidic ph. neutralization with naoh or triethanolamine ionizes carboxylic groups causing electrostatic repulsion that unfolds and swells the polymer coils, dramatically increasing viscosity. concentration-dependent thickening.
Typically Found In: Gels,serums,emulsions,sunscreens
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – polyacrylic acid thickener
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%–2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1–2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Carbomer's ph-responsive swelling mechanism provides an elegant formulation control tool: a neutralized gel can be liquefied by ph reduction (adding acid) and re-thickened by reneutralization. this reversible rheology control allows two-phase products that mix on application without the need for mechanical emulsification.

Citronellol
Common Name(s): (r)-3,7-dimethyl-6-octen-1-ol,rhodinol
CAS Number: 106-22-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides soft, lasting rose-floral fragrance note.
Why It's Used: Essential rose fragrance monoterpene for lasting smooth floral notes in high-quality perfumery and cosmetic fragrances.
How It Works: Allylic alcohol monoterpene provides fixative property in fragrance blends. good skin substantivity for lasting scent. softer, rounder rose note vs geraniol's fresher character. natural in rose otto at 18-34%.
Typically Found In: Rose perfumes,floral fragrances,luxury skincare
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component – monoterpene alcohol
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%–1%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – from rose, geranium, citronella oils
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – 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. ifra guidelines apply.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Citronellol's r-enantiomer (natural) vs s-enantiomer (synthetic) provide meaningfully different scent character – a remarkable demonstration of chiral scent discrimination by olfactory receptors. the (r) form provides the characteristic rose note while the (s) form has a distinctly different, less pleasant character. this enantiomeric scent difference means that the biological handedness of naturally-sourced vs racemic synthetic citronellol produces perceptibly different fragrance quality.
