Propanediol is a natural alternative for the often used and often bad-mouthed propylene glycol. It's produced sustainably from corn sugar and it's Ecocert approved. It's quite a multi-tasker can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula. The extract created from the leaves of the hazelnut-bush-like-magic-tree, commonly called Witch Hazel. We have gone into detail about Witch Hazel in cosmetic products here it's astringent, soothing, antioxidant and antibacterial, but the important part to know about the leaves is that they contain much, much less active components than the bark. In fact, it contains hardly any tannins only and the most active component in the leaves is the antibacterial gallic acid. Too many tannins can be very astringent and irritating to the skin, so this is not necessarily a bad thing. Even the small amount of active components in the leaves seem to give it nice soothing, astringent, and antibacterial properties.

It’s a great pick for creating a nice feeling product. BG’s main job is usually to be a solvent for the other ingredients. Other tasks include helping the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin penetration enhancer, making the product spread nicely over the skin slip agent, and attracting water humectant into the skin. It’s an ingredient whose safety hasn’t been questioned so far by anyone at least not that we know about. BG is approved by Ecocert and is also used enthusiastically in natural products.

It can be naturally found in fruits and teas but can also be made synthetically. No matter the origin, in small amounts up to 1% it’s a nice, gentle preservative. Has to be combined with some other nice preservatives, like potassium sorbate to be broad spectrum enough. In high amounts, it can be a skin irritant, but don’t worry, it’s never used in high amounts. A very common ingredient that can be found in all cell membranes. In cosmetics it's quite the multi-tasker it's an emollient and water-binding ingredient but it's also an emulsifier and can be used for stabilization purposes. It's also often used to create liposomes. A superabsorbent polymer big molecule from repeated subunits that has crazy water binding abilities. Sometimes its referred to as "waterlock" and can absorb 100 to 1000 times its mass in water. As for its use in cosmetic products, it is a handy multi-tasker that thickens up water-based formulas and also has some emulsifying and emulsion stabilizing properties. A handy multi-functional helper ingredient that helps water and oil to mix aka emulsifier, helps to thicken up a formula and boosts the effectiveness of traditional preservatives. It's one of the most commonly used thickeners and emulsion stabilizers. If the product is too runny, a little xanthan gum will make it more gel-like. Used alone, it can make the formula sticky and it is a good team player so it is usually combined with other thickeners and so-called rheology modifiers helper ingredients that adjust the flow and thus the feel of the formula. The typical use level of Xantha Gum is below 1%, it is usually in the range. Btw, Xanthan gum is all natural, a chain of sugar molecules polysaccharide produced from individual sugar molecules glucose and sucrose via fermentation. It’s approved by Ecocert and also used in the food industry E415. Aloe Vera is one of today’s magic plants. It does have some very nice properties indeed, though famous dermatologist Leslie Baumann warns us in her book that most of the evidence is anecdotal and the plant might be a bit research does confirm about Aloe is that it’s a great moisturizer and has several anti-inflammatory among others contains salicylates, polysaccharides, magnesium lactate and C-glucosyl chromone as well as some antibacterial components.

It’s mostly used as an emulsifier and surfactant but most often it is used to solubilize fragrances into water-based acid comes from citrus fruits and is an AHA. If these magic three letters don’t tell you anything, click here and read our detailed description on glycolic acid, the most famous AHA. So citric acid is an exfoliant, that can - just like other AHAs - gently lift off the dead skin cells of your skin and make it more smooth and fresh. There is also some research showing that citric acid with regular use think three months and 20% concentration can help sun-damaged skin, increase skin thickness and some nice hydrating things called glycosaminoglycans in the skin. But according to a comparative study done in 1995, citric acid has less skin improving magic properties than glycolic or lactic acid. Probably that’s why citric acid is usually not used as an exfoliant but more as a helper ingredient in small amounts to adjust the pH of a formulation.

One more thing the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed. Like this, the products can stay more stable over time. It’s probably the most common cleansing ingredient of all. It’s usually the Chief Bubble Officer responsible for big bubbles in cleansing products through the foam it creates is a bit airy and loose and not as dense and luxurious as the foam created by infamous SLS. As for mildness, it goes somewhere in the middle. It’s often confused with sodium lauryl sulfate SLS, but they are absolutely not the same. The SLES molecule has a bigger water-soluble head part that makes it milder and much less irritating. It is considered absolutely ok in the amount used in cosmetic products, though if you are looking for a mild facial cleanser, you have better chances with a formula without SLES. For an average shower gel? SLES works just fine. A mild, biodegradable cleansing agent that is also a very good team-player next to other cleaning agents. It is known for its good foam-boosing abilities while improving the mildness of the formula. Its performance is similar to Isethionates, another group of cleaning agents known for their gentleness. Super common ingredient in all kinds of cleansing products face and body washes, shampoos and foam baths. Number one reason for its popularity has to do with bubbles. Everyone loves bubbles. And cocamidopropyl betaine is great at stabilizing them. The other reason is that it’s mild and works very well combined with other cleansing agents and surfactants. The art of cleansing is usually to balance between properly cleansing but not over-cleansing and cocamidopropyl betaine is helpful in pulling off this balance right. Oh, and one more nice thing even though it’s synthetic it’s highly biodegradable. More info on CAPB on Collins Beaty Pages. An amino-acid based cleansing agent that is described as extremely mild and having outstanding foamability.

As you might guess from the “pro” part, it’s a precursor to vitamin B5 whose fancy name is pantothenic acid. Its main job in skincare products is to moisturise the skin. It’s a humectant meaning that it can help the skin to attract water and then hold onto it. There is also research showing that panthenol can help our skin to produce more lovely lipids that are important for a strong and healthy skin barrier. Another great thing about panthenol is that it has anti-inflammatory and skin protecting abilities. A study shows that it can reduce the irritation caused by less-nice other ingredients fragrance, preservatives or chemical sunscreens in the product. Research also shows that it might be useful for wound healing as it promotes fibroblast nice type of cells in our skin that produce skin-firming collagen proliferation. If that wasn’t enough panthenol is also useful in nail and hair care products. A study shows that a nail treatment liquide with 2% panthenol could effectively get into the nail and significantly increase the hydration of it. As for the hair the hydration effect is also true there. Panthenol might make your hair softer, more elastic and helps to comb your hair more easily. It's a helper ingredient that improves the freeze-thaw stability of productsIt's also a solvent, humectant and to some extent a penetration enhancerIt has a bad reputation among natural cosmetics advocates but cosmetic scientists and toxicology experts do not agree read more in the geeky details section Read all the geeky details about Propylene Glycol here >> Sodium chloride is the fancy name of salt. Normal, everyday table salt. If similar to us you are in the weird habit of reading the label on your shower gel while taking a shower, you might have noticed that sodium chloride is almost always on the ingredient list. The reason for this is that salt acts as a fantastic thickener in cleansing formulas created with ionic cleansing agents aka surfactants such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate. A couple of percents typically 1-3% turns a runny surfactant solution into a nice gel texture. If you are into chemistry if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph, the reason is that electrolytes you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles instead of spherical ones that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed. However, too much of it causes the phenomenon called "salting out", and the surfactant solution goes runny again. Other than that, salt also works as an emulsion stabilizer in water-in-oil emulsions, that is when water droplets are dispersed in the outer oil or silicone phase. And last but not least, when salt is right at the first spot of the ingredient list and is not dissolved, the product is usually a body scrub where salt is the physical exfoliating agent. Also-called Fragrance, Parfum;Parfum/Fragrance What-it-does perfuming Exactly what it sounds nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice. Fragrance in the US and parfum in the EU is a generic term on the ingredient list that is made up of 30 to 50 chemicals on average but it can have as much as 200 components!. If you are someone who likes to know what you put on your face then fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what’s really in it. Also, if your skin is sensitive, fragrance is again not your best friend. It’s the number one cause of contact allergy to cosmetics. It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse!. A controversial preservative that has formaldehyde-releasing properties. It works great against bacteria and also has mild fungicide abilities. Cosmetic chemist, Colin wrote a great article about formaldehyde and DMDM Hydantoin. He writes that formaldehyde is the perfect example of "the dose makes the poison" principle. It's a natural stuff that can also be found in fresh fruits and vegetables, and eating it in tiny amounts is totally ok. However, in larger amounts according to Wikipedia 30 mL of a solution containing 37% formaldehyde it's deadly. The amount of formaldehyde used in cosmetics either neat or through formaldehyde-releasing preservatives is tiny. Probably that is why the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Broad concluded both in 1988 and in 2008 that DMDM Hydantoin is "safe as used in cosmetics". However, Colins argues that in the case of formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, formaldehyde is released slowly and the skin has probably not evolved to deal with that. The lingering formaldehyde might be toxic to the Langerhans Cells that are important for the skin's defense system. Another potential issue is that formaldehyde-releasers might also release other things while reacting with amino acids in the skin that is probably the explanation why some people are not allergic to formaldehyde but are allergic to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. These are all theories, far from proven facts, but we feel that there are some justified reasons why formaldehyde-releasing preservatives and Dmdm Hydantoin count as controversial. All in all, it's up to you to decide if you wanna avoid this preservative group or not. If so, there are other, less risky and more skin-friendly options out there.

It does so by neutralizing the metal ions in the formula that usually get into there from water that would otherwise cause some not so nice changes. It is typically used in tiny amounts, around or less. Also-called Bilberry Fruit Extract We don't have description for this ingredient known as Sugarcane, Saccharum Officinarum is a handy moisturizing ingredient mostly used as a humectant. This means that it can help the skin to attract water and then to hold onto it. It bears a close relationship to AHA superstar, Glycolic Acid that can be derived from it, so it's often claimed that Sugarcane Extract itself also exfoliates and brightens the skin. We could not find any research studies to back this up, but Saccharum Officinarum very often comes to the formula combined with other acid containing plant extracts trade named ACB Fruit Mix. According to manufacturer data, 5% of the fruit mix increases cellular renewal by 24%, while 4% pure Glycolic did the same by 33%. So maybe, a tiny bit of exfoliation, but if you want proven efficacy, stick to pure acids. Also-called Orange Fruit Extract We have to start by writing that there are about 900 citrus species in the world, and plenty of them are used to make different kinds of extracts used in cosmetics. This particular one, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract is a very common ingredient, however, the species "Citrus Aurantium Dulcis" seem to exist only on ingredient lists and the real world calls this guy Citrus Sinensis or, you know, orange. To complicate matters further, there are lots of varieties and lots of extraction methods, so it is a bit hard to know what you are getting with this one, but we will try our best to summarize the possibilities. A very common scenario is that Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract is on the ingredient list for its mild, natural exfoliant properties. It contains mainly citric acid and some malic acid, AHA exfoliants known for their skin renewing properties. If that's the case, it is usually combined with other AHA containing fruits such as bilberry, sugar cane, lemon, and sugar maple in a super popular ingredient mix trade named ACB Fruit Mix. But orange fruit is loaded with lots of other active compounds with a wide variety of possible effects. A well-known one is the antioxidant vitamin C, aka ascorbic acid, but the dosage will vary based on the extraction method, and it’s possible that some of the ascorbic acid content will degrade before extraction process even takes place. If you want vitamin C in your skincare, that is smart, but do not rely on orange fruit extract for it. Flavonoids hesperidin, naringin, luteolin, and ferulic acid are also nice active compounds with possible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective effects. Some of them namely hesperidin and luteolin might even have skin brightening activity by inhibiting tyrosinase, the famous enzyme needed for melanin production. The orange extract also contains carbohydrates, aka sugars mostly glucose, fructose, and sucrose, but also some bigger polysaccharides such as pectin giving the ingredient some moisturizing properties. Some essential oil content is usually also present in citrus fruit extracts, which means a nice scent and antibacterial properties, but also some questionable compounds such as fragrance allergen limonene or phototoxic compound bergaptene. If the amount is big enough to worry about is questionable, probably not, however, the same question applies to all the nice beneficial compounds. Overall, we think that the orange fruit extract is a very complex ingredient with lots of potentially good things in it, but we could not find proper in-vivo made on real people studies made with standardized extracts to validate what it really does or does not under real-world use cases. We don't have description for this ingredient yet. Also-called Sugar Maple Extract The extract coming from the Sugar Maple tree, the one whose leaf is on the Canadian flag and gives us maple main reason it is used in skin care is that it contains natural AHA acids, namely Malic and Tartaric, and hence why it supposedly helps slough off dead skin cells in combination with other acid-containing fruit extracts as part of the trade name ACB Fruit Mix. The manufacturer claims that both malic and tartaric increase elasticity in the skin, but from our research, the only confirmed uses of these acids are as pH adjusters, especially in the tiny amounts they can be found in the Fruit Mix less than 1%.
