Why This Works for Your Specific Profile
Damage Index:
Damaged hair structure cannot withstand product intensity causing increased breakage and further compromise
Water Quality:
Wavy to coily patterns require curl-specific formulation that straight hair finds heavy or greasy
Hair:
Porous structure over-absorbs product leading to buildup, stiffness, or excessive dryness
Active Lifestyle:
High activity and frequent washing rapidly strip product benefits requiring excessive reapplication

Ingredients Details
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
Common Name(s): Ammonium laureth sulfate,cosmetic active,functional ingredient
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Delivers characteristic cosmetic function at recommended use concentration.
Why It's Used: Selected for functional contribution and formulation compatibility supported by cosmetic science and regulatory safety data.
How It Works: Works through the mechanism of its molecular class โ physicochemical or biological interaction with skin proteins, lipids, or receptors as documented in peer-reviewed cosmetic literature.
Typically Found In: Skin care formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ 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%โ10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional
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: Good safety profile at recommended concentrations. ewg score: 1โ2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE

Amyl Cinnamal
Common Name(s): Alpha-amyl cinnamic aldehyde,jasmine aldehyde
CAS Number: 122-40-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides rich classic jasmine-type floral fragrance note.
Why It's Used: Classic jasmine fragrance aldehyde for premium perfumery providing the richer, deeper jasmine note used in high-quality fragrance compositions.
How It Works: C5-substituted cinnamic aldehyde provides broader, richer floral note vs hexyl cinnamal. good skin substantivity. widely used in combination with hexyl cinnamal for complex jasmine character.
Typically Found In: Premium fragrances,luxury cosmetics
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component โ aldehyde
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%โ0.5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
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. ifra guidelines apply.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Amyl cinnamal and hexyl cinnamal differ only in the alpha-substituent chain length (c5 amyl vs c6 hexyl). this single carbon difference shifts the scent character from amyl cinnamal's broader, richer jasmine to hexyl cinnamal's crisper, airier jasmine โ demonstrating the extraordinary sensitivity of olfactory receptors to minor molecular changes in linear chain length.

Benzyl Alcohol
Common Name(s): Phenylcarbinol,benzenemethanol,alpha-hydroxytoluene
CAS Number: 100-51-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides dual fragrance and preservative activity as an aromatic alcohol.
Why It's Used: Multi-function ingredient serving as both fragrance component and preservative โ reduces formulation complexity by providing both functions in one ingredient.
How It Works: Phenylcarbinol provides antimicrobial activity via membrane disruption (effective vs gram-positive bacteria and moulds). solvent for fragrances and difficult-to-dissolve actives. mild oxidative conversion to benzaldehyde provides sweet almond-like fragrance.
Typically Found In: Fragrances,preserved cosmetics,solvent systems
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component / preservative
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.001%โ1% (fragrance); up to 1% as preservative
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from toluene, or jasmine absolute
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. also listed as approved preservative (annex v, max 1%). dual regulatory status (fragrance + preservative) depending on function and concentration.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Benzyl alcohol's dual regulatory status (fragrance allergen and approved preservative) creates a formulation paradox: it must be listed as a fragrance allergen if present >0.001% (leave-on) regardless of whether it was added for fragrance or preservation. this regulatory dual identity means a preservative added for antimicrobial function triggers the same allergen declaration requirement as a fragrance added for scent.

Benzyl Benzoate
Common Name(s): Benzyl ester of benzoic acid,scabimite
CAS Number: 120-51-4
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides fixative fragrance and solvent properties with anti-mite activity.
Why It's Used: Natural ester fragrance compound occurring in jasmine and ylang ylang providing fixative and solvent benefits in fragranced cosmetics.
How It Works: Ester of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid. solvent for difficult-to-dissolve fragrance compounds. penetrates insect/mite cuticle for scabicidal activity. mild skin fixative from ester-protein interactions.
Typically Found In: Fragrances,floral compounds,medical scabies treatment
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Fragrance component / scabicide
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning

SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu cosmetics regulation: declared fragrance allergen. ifra guidelines apply.

Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Benzyl benzoate's natural occurrence in jasmine absolute (up to 6%) means that products containing jasmine absolute naturally contain benzyl benzoate as a declared fragrance allergen โ regardless of whether the formulator intentionally added it. this highlights how natural ingredients can automatically generate regulatory allergen declarations.
