Citric Acid
Common Name(s): Lemon acid,2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid
CAS Number: 77-92-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Adjusts ph to optimal ranges, chelates destabilizing metal ions, provides mild exfoliation at higher concentrations.
Why It's Used: Universal cosmetic ph adjuster and chelating agent. aha exfoliant activity is secondary.
How It Works: As ph adjuster, donates protons. as chelating agent, three carboxylic groups bind divalent metals (ca²⁺, mg²⁺, fe²⁺) preventing oxidative degradation.
Typically Found In: Nearly all cosmetic formulations,brightening products,exfoliants
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – alpha hydroxy acid (aha)
Secondary Functions: Chelating agent,ph adjustment,preservation enhancement
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%–10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic or fermentation-derived
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Produced by fermentation of sugars by aspergillus niger. gras (e330). most abundant organic acid in citrus.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low at low concentrations; 2/5 at exfoliant concentrations
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Photosensitizing – mandatory spf use. start at low frequency.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Use with caution – spf required
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Safe at otc concentrations. eu: ≤10% leave-on at ph ≥3.5. mandatory spf advisory.
Works Well With: Niacinamide,ceramides,hyaluronic acid,spf
Avoid Combining With: Retinol in same step; multiple exfoliants simultaneously
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Three carboxylic acid groups provide multiple proton donation sites and stronger chelation than monocarboxylic ahas. this makes citric acid the preferred cosmetic chelating agent alongside edta.

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine
Common Name(s): Cahs,hydroxypropyl sultaine
CAS Number: 68139-30-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides amphoteric foaming and conditioning with excellent compatibility across surfactant systems.
Why It's Used: Premium amphoteric surfactant for mild foaming shampoos and cleansers requiring broad surfactant compatibility and improved skin and eye tolerance vs capb alternatives.
How It Works: Amphoteric sultaine (internal zwitterion from quaternary ammonium + sulfonate) provides: foam stability and enhancement; antistatic conditioning on hair; mildness enhancement reducing ionic surfactant irritation; viscosity building with salt addition. superior eye tolerance vs capb (betaine).
Typically Found In: Baby shampoos,mild cleansers,eye-safe products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient – amphoteric surfactant
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%–10%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – from coconut fatty acid chain
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – 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: 1–2.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine's superior eye tolerance vs capb arises from its sultaine rather than betaine zwitterionic head group. the sulfonate anion (so3⁻ in sultaine) is a stronger acid group than the carboxylate (coo⁻ in betaine), providing greater charge neutralisation and better interaction with tear film proteins — the molecular basis for its improved eye irritation profile in baby and sensitive-eye formulations.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Common Name(s): Sap,l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate sodium
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides stable water-soluble vitamin c with documented anti-acne activity beyond typical brightening benefits.
Why It's Used: The anti-acne vitamin c derivative — sap's documented anti-p. acnes activity makes it uniquely suited for acne-brightening formulations targeting both acne and post-acne hyperpigmentation simultaneously.
How It Works: Phosphate ester resists oxidation in aqueous formulation. converted to ascorbic acid by alkaline phosphatase in viable epidermis. anti-acne via reduction of p. acnes oxidative stress and direct antimicrobial activity. tyrosinase inhibition for brightening.
Typically Found In: Anti-acne brightening serums,oily skin products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – phosphate vitamin c
Secondary Functions: Tyrosinase inhibitor,collagen cofactor
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%–5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetically produced vitamin c derivative.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – 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: Tocopherol,ferulic acid,niacinamide,spf
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate's anti-p. acnes activity was demonstrated by klock et al. (2005) showing sap at 1% reduced p. acnes populations and reduced inflammatory acne lesions in a clinical study. the mechanism involves ascorbic acid's pro-oxidant activity in p. acnes — generating reactive oxygen species toxic to the bacterium, which is the opposite of ascorbic acid's antioxidant role in human cells.
