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,peptides
Avoid Combining With: Incompatible with oxidizing agents; check ph stability
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Specialty actives typically work through enzyme inhibition (e.g., tyrosinase inhibition for brightening, mmp inhibition for anti-aging), receptor activation (e.g., retinoid receptors, ppar-ฮณ for barrier genes), or transcription factor modulation (e.g., nrf2 for antioxidant gene upregulation). structure-activity relationships determine potency and selectivity.

Agar
Common Name(s): Agar-agar,agarose,gelidium amansii extract
CAS Number: 9002-18-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides firm, thermally reversible marine-derived gels from natural seaweed polysaccharide.
Why It's Used: Natural seaweed gellant for clean beauty formulations requiring firm, stiff gel textures with authentic marine provenance.
How It Works: Agarose chains form double helix junction zones that aggregate into bundles forming a rigid gel network below 38ยฐc. melts at 85ยฐc but re-gels at 38ยฐc โ this 47ยฐc hysteresis window means agar gels remain solid at skin contact (33ยฐc) but dissolve cleanly in hot water for rinse-off products.
Typically Found In: Sheet masks,gel cleansers,firm gel products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ seaweed gellant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.5%โ3%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from red seaweed
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Agar's thermal hysteresis (melts 85ยฐc, sets 38ยฐc) is unique among natural gellants. this hysteresis arises from the different temperatures required for helix-coil disruption (melting) vs helix formation (setting) in the agarose chains. the practical consequence โ a gel that can be sterilized at 121ยฐc yet remains stable at skin temperature (33ยฐc) โ makes agar uniquely useful for thermally stable cosmetic gels.
