What Keya Seth Aromatherapy Says
Product Description:
NATURAL EXFOLIATION Walnut shell Juglans regia powder acts as an exfoliating agent. It removes dead skin cells which causes new skin cells to emerge. It also clears dirt & grime from accumulating on the skin surface. Enriched Antioxidants Anti-inflammatory agents prevent excess oiliness & clogging of pores & combat acne-causing germs. Mixed with several Vitamins, Minerals & Hydrating compounds leaving the skin hydrated, even softer and brighter than before. ORANGE EXTRACTS Orange extract has a gentle astringent property that helps to cure acne. Orange is a source of Vitamin C, Sugars, Flavonoids & AHA. Vitamin C means to treat skin pigmentation, scars & dark spots. The antioxidants fight off free radicals. Astringent quality decreases the appearance of enlarged pores, irritation & itching & improves complexion & texture. Enriched AHA helps in mild exfoliation to rebuild new cells. ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL With a zesty & refreshing Citrus fragrance and a clear mobile yellow to orange-brown liquid it helps speed out toxins in oily congested skin though at the same time deals effectively with dry skin by forming Collagen vital for growth & repair of skin tissue wrinkles & dermatitis. It promotes clarity fights inflammation & keeps the skin fresh with the help of significant components Limonene Myrcene & Linalool. RENEWAL & MOISTURISING Provitamin B5 is the alcohol analog of Vitamin B5 that profoundly hydrates the skin & improves the barrier function acid mantle of skin. It Nourishes solid tissue regeneration & accelerates resurfacing in the skin by healing the facial inflammatory lesions & gives soothing cooling effects. Propylene Glycol forms a protective film on the skin that prevents water loss & helps to reduce the chances of free radical attacks controls acne & makes skin soft light & nonsticky feel. It helps to lessen the appearance of marks & acne spots.

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.

Limonene
Common Name(s): D-limonene,(r)-limonene,dipentene
CAS Number: 5989-27-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the defining fresh citrus fragrance note alongside solvent and antimicrobial properties.
Why It's Used: The citrus industry's primary fragrance compound and the most abundant terpene in essential oils โ limonene provides the clean, universally appealing fresh citrus scent character.
How It Works: D-limonene activates trpv1 mildly at high concentrations. antimicrobial via membrane disruption. solvent for oils and lipophilic compounds. cleaning via emulsification of lipid soils.
Typically Found In: Citrus-scented products,cleaning products,fragrance compounds
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component โ cyclic monoterpene
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%โ3%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from citrus peel essential oils
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. oxidises to sensitising compounds (limonene hydroperoxides) on air exposure โ use with antioxidant stabilisers. ifra guidelines apply.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Limonene's sensitisation risk arises not from limonene itself but from its autooxidation products (limonene-1,2-epoxide and limonene hydroperoxides) formed on air exposure. fresh limonene has low sensitisation potential, but air-oxidised limonene's hydroperoxide products are potent skin sensitisers. this explains why oxidation-stabilised formulations (with bht or other antioxidants) are required to manage limonene safety.

Linalool
Common Name(s): 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol,linalyl alcohol
CAS Number: 78-70-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the most common natural floral-citrus fragrance note with additional anti-inflammatory properties.
Why It's Used: The most abundant fragrance terpene in nature โ linalool forms the primary scent character of lavender, responsible for lavender's documented aromatherapy calming effects.
How It Works: Monoterpene alcohol activates gaba-a receptors for anti-anxiety activity (same receptor as benzodiazepines). inhibits glutamate-induced excitotoxicity. antimicrobial via membrane disruption. anti-inflammatory via nf-kb inhibition.
Typically Found In: Virtually all fragranced cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component โ tertiary terpene 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%โ3%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from lavender, coriander, bergamot
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 on label when >0.001% (leave-on) or >0.01% (rinse-off). ifra guidelines apply.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Linalool's gaba-a receptor activation provides a pharmacological basis for lavender aromatherapy's documented anxiolytic effects. the same receptor modulation used by benzodiazepine drugs (such as diazepam) is activated by inhaled linalool vapor, providing receptor-mediated calming without the tolerance and dependence associated with pharmaceutical gaba-a modulators.
