Ingredients Details
Bronopol
Common Name(s): Formaldehyde-releasing preservative,antimicrobial preservation,formaldehyde donor
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides broad-spectrum preservation against bacteria and fungi through controlled formaldehyde release, maintaining product safety throughout shelf life at eu-permitted concentrations.
Why It's Used: Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives provide reliable broad-spectrum preservation but face increasing consumer and regulatory scrutiny โ eu requires label declaration, and many brands adopt 'formaldehyde-free' positioning due to sensitisation concerns.
How It Works: Hydrolysis in aqueous formulation releases formaldehyde (hcho) at controlled rates depending on ph and temperature. free formaldehyde cross-links bacterial proteins and nucleic acids through schiff base formation with amine groups, providing bactericidal activity. sensitisation risk from free formaldehyde's reactivity with skin proteins forming haptens.
Typically Found In: All aqueous formulations

Glycerin
Common Name(s): Glycerol,glycerine,1,2,3-propanetriol
CAS Number: 56-81-5
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Glycerin pulls water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer skin layer (epidermis), boosting moisture levels and keeping skin soft, smooth, and plump.
Why It's Used: It is used in virtually every moisturizer, serum, and cleanser because it is highly effective at hydrating skin, is well-tolerated by all skin types, and enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations.
How It Works: As a humectant, glycerin forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, trapping them in the skin. it also reinforces the skin barrier by integrating into lipid structures between skin cells.
Typically Found In: Moisturizers,serums,cleansers,toners,sheet masks,sunscreens,body lotions,shampoos,conditioners

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Glycerin is an endogenous skin component found naturally in the stratum corneum. aquaporin-3 channels in keratinocytes facilitate glycerin transport, making it integral to natural skin hydration pathways.
