Ingredients Details
Asiaticoside
Common Name(s): Centella asiatica glycoside,asiaticoside b
CAS Number: 16830-15-2
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Accelerates wound healing and reduces scar formation through fibroblast activation and collagen synthesis stimulation.
Why It's Used: Clinically proven scar reduction and wound healing active โ the compound behind centella's legendary wound healing reputation.
How It Works: Promotes fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis via tgf-ฮฒ independent mechanism (distinct from madecassoside). also inhibits hyaluronidase protecting extracellular matrix. antimicrobial activity supports wound healing environment.
Typically Found In: Post-surgical products,scar treatments,wound healing formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ soothing / anti-inflammatory
Secondary Functions: Scar reduction,wound healing,collagen stimulation
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.01%โ2%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ centella asiatica derived
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Extracted from centella asiatica aerial parts alongside madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; ideal for reactive and sensitive skin.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes โ particularly recommended for sensitive skin
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,panthenol,allantoin,hyaluronic acid,centella asiatica
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Asiaticoside's mechanism of wound healing involves release of aglycone asiatic acid after hydrolysis by skin beta-glucosidases. the glycoside form provides better stratum corneum penetration than the hydrophobic aglycone, acting as a prodrug for the active asiatic acid at the wound healing site.

Astrocaryum Vulgare Kernel Oil
Common Name(s): Astrocaryum vulgare kernel oil,astrocaryum vulgare kernel oil,botanical oil/butter,emollient efa source
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides emollient conditioning from fatty acid triglycerides โ oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids supporting barrier lipid supplementation and ceramide precursor delivery.
Why It's Used: Astrocaryum vulgare kernel oil is selected for the distinctive triglyceride fatty acid profile of astrocaryum vulgare โ the specific oleic, linoleic, and saturated fatty acid ratio determines the spreading speed, occlusion level, and sc barrier integration properties unique to this botanical oil.
How It Works: Fatty acid triglycerides integrate into sc: oleic (c18:1) provides fluid emolliency; linoleic (c18:2) serves as ceramide precursor; alpha-linolenic (c18:3) provides anti-inflammatory eicosanoid competition.
Typically Found In: Skin care,barrier repair
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ antioxidant
Secondary Functions: Free radical scavenging,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care

Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ 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
Verify specific oil's efa composition and oxidative stability index for target application and shelf life.

Benzoic Acid
Common Name(s): Cosmetic preservative,microbial growth inhibitor,product stability agent
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Prevents microbial contamination that would otherwise render water-containing cosmetics unsafe โ inhibiting bacterial, fungal, and yeast growth through membrane disruption, enzyme inhibition, or metabolic interference at permitted regulatory concentrations.
Why It's Used: Preservatives are safety-critical โ un-preserved water-containing cosmetics can develop dangerous microbial contamination (pseudomonas aeruginosa eye infections, s. aureus skin infections) within days. preservation is a regulatory requirement, not an optional enhancement.
How It Works: Mechanism varies by class: organic acids (benzoic, dehydroacetic) disrupt intracellular ph in bacteria and fungi by proton flux across membranes; parabens inhibit membrane-associated enzyme function; chlorhexidine disrupts bacterial and fungal membrane integrity through divalent ion chelation of membrane phospholipids.
Typically Found In: All aqueous formulations
TECHNICAL DETAILS

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.
