MIRABELLE COSMETICS KOREA Combination Skin Face Sheet Mask Combo Pack Of 6 (25 ml)

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Conditions and nourishes skin and hair with exceptional fatty acid, squalene, and tocopherol content.

Why It's Used: Premium multi-nutrient facial and hair oil – its unique phytosterol and squalene composition provides anti-aging benefits beyond simple emolliency.

How It Works: Balanced oleic/linoleic acid ratio provides both emolliency and barrier repair. high squalene content (6-7%) provides antioxidant and sebum-compatible emolliency. tocopherols provide antioxidant stability and skin benefit. phytosterols inhibit 5-alpha-reductase and reduce inflammation.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Argan oil's squalene content (6-7%) is among the highest of all plant oils, second only to olive oil. squalene is an endogenous skin lipid that declines with age, making argan oil's high squalene level particularly relevant for anti-aging facial use – replenishing both essential fatty acids and age-depleting skin lipids simultaneously.

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides antioxidant protection, soothing anti-inflammatory effects, and skin-conditioning benefits through plant-derived polyphenols and phytochemicals.

Why It's Used: Plant extracts concentrate bioactive phytochemicals evolved for environmental protection — uv, microbial, and oxidative stressors — that translate to skin benefits.

How It Works: Polyphenols (flavonoids, phenolic acids) inhibit nf-κb-mediated inflammatory signaling, scavenge reactive oxygen species through electron donation, and chelate pro-oxidant metal ions to reduce oxidative skin damage.

Typically Found In: Serums,toners,moisturizers,masks,essences

TECHNICAL DETAILS

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1899-12-31 00:00:00 -0800

Sensitivity Concerns: Low sensitization potential at recommended use concentrations.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Well-characterized cosmetic ingredient with established safety profile. generally non-irritating at typical use concentrations. suitable for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics.

Works Well With: Niacinamide,hyaluronic acid,vitamin c,ceramides

Avoid Combining With: Strong oxidizing agents

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Plant secondary metabolites (flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids) are biosynthesized as defense compounds against uv, herbivores, and pathogens. their anti-inflammatory activity typically derives from competitive inhibition of cox-2 and 5-lox enzymes (ic50 1–50 µm), while antioxidant activity involves single electron transfer (set) and hydrogen atom transfer (hat) mechanisms with structure-dependent rate constants.

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides punicalagin-based exceptional antioxidant activity with anti-inflammatory and skin regeneration benefits.

Why It's Used: Highest-orac common fruit extract – punicalagins provide unmatched antioxidant activity alongside oestrogenic urolithins for anti-aging and barrier support.

How It Works: Punicalagins a and b (2x the antioxidant power of red wine) provide orac value ~10,000 μmol te/g. metabolized to urolithins by skin microbiome – urolithin a activates mitophagy for cellular anti-aging. ellagic acid inhibits tyrosinase for brightening. mild estrogenic activity via urolithin phytoestrogens.

Typically Found In: Premium antioxidant products,brightening formulas,anti-aging serums

TECHNICAL DETAILS

Primary Category: Active ingredient – antioxidant

Secondary Functions: Punicalagin orac,urolithin mitophagy

Application Areas:

Facial Skincare

Body Care

Hair Care

Beard Care

Color Cosmetics (Makeup)

Dietary/Oral Supplements

Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%–5%

SOURCING & ETHICS

Vegan Status: Yes – from punica granatum fruit

Halal Status: Yes

Source Notes: Plant-derived extract or synthetic.

SKIN COMPATIBILITY

Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic

Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; well-tolerated.

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY

Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.

Works Well With: Vitamin c,vitamin e,ferulic acid,spf,other antioxidants

Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities

SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Pomegranate punicalagin's conversion to urolithin a by skin microbiome represents a remarkable prebiotic-probiotic relationship: the skin's resident bacteria metabolize the polyphenol precursor to create the bioactive urolithin that activates mitophagy (cellular mitochondrial quality control). this microbiome-dependent bioactivation means the same punicalagin extract has different anti-aging potency across individuals depending on their microbiome composition.
