Ingredients Details
Caffeine
Common Name(s): Caffeine,methylxanthine anti-cellulite,antioxidant vasoactive
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Stimulates lipolysis in adipocytes by inhibiting phosphodiesterase (preventing camp breakdown), reduces eye puffiness through vasoconstriction of periorbital capillaries, and provides antioxidant dna repair stimulation for photoprotective benefit.
Why It's Used: The only cosmetic active with a well-defined mechanism for anti-cellulite claims โ phosphodiesterase inhibition elevating adipocyte camp is the documented biochemical pathway, providing mechanism-based efficacy substantiation superior to most slimming actives.
How It Works: Caffeine inhibits phosphodiesterase (pde3, pde4) preventing camp hydrolysis โ elevated camp activates protein kinase a โ phosphorylates hormone-sensitive lipase โ lipolysis of triglycerides in adipocytes. for eye puffiness: caffeine's adenosine receptor antagonism reduces prostaglandin-mediated capillary dilation in periorbital tissue, reducing fluid accumulation.
Typically Found In: Anti-cellulite,eye creams,antioxidant products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ antioxidant
Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenging,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care

Caramel
Common Name(s): Caramel colour,natural brown,e150
CAS Number: 8028-89-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides natural warm-brown colour from heat-treated sugar for natural cosmetics.
Why It's Used: Natural brown colorant with food-grade safety credentials for clean beauty formulations requiring warm brown or amber shades.
How It Works: Complex mixture of pyranose-ring condensation products from heat-treated sugars. 5-hmf and melanoidin polymers provide brown colour. ph-stable in acidic formulations. soluble in water and lower alcohols.
Typically Found In: Natural cosmetics,bronzers,hair products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Colorant โ natural brown dye
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Caramel's colour develops through the maillard reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids at elevated temperatures, creating a complex mixture of coloured polymer (melanoidin) and small molecule chromophores. unlike single-compound dyes with defined absorption spectra, caramel's broad-spectrum absorption from multiple chromophores provides a naturally warm, complex brown impossible to replicate with a single synthetic dye.

Glycerine
Common Name(s): Glycerin,universal humectant,water-binding skin conditioning
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Attracts and retains moisture in the sc, improves skin barrier function at low concentrations, provides gentle keratolytic softening, and acts as a co-solvent for water-soluble actives.
Why It's Used: The reference humectant โ lowest cost, best safety profile, universal formulation compatibility, and present naturally in the sc via lipase-mediated glycerolipid hydrolysis makes glycerin the industry standard against which all humectants are benchmarked.
How It Works: Three hydroxyl groups form 6 h-bonds with water molecules per glycerol unit โ the highest oh-group density per carbon of any commercial humectant. glycerin also down-regulates epidermal serine proteases that overactivate in dry sc, improving desquamation and barrier integrity.
Typically Found In: All cosmetics,universal
