Ingredients Explained
We don't have a description for Benzoxiquine yet.
Camphor is a waxy solid with a strong scent. It is made using turpentine oil.
This ingredient is used for medicinal purposes due to its cooling effect. In medicine, camphor is a common anti-inflammation ingredient.
Camphor also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties.
One study found camphor to be a potential anti-wrinkle ingredient. This might be due to its ability to increase elastin and collagen production. Collagen and elastin are responsible for plump and youthful looking skin.
It is best to use cosmetics with a small amount of camphor under 11%. Using topical camphor may induce irritation and redness.
In the past, camphor was traditionally made by distilling the wood of the camphor tree.
Learn more about CamphorPhenol is an antimicrobial preservative used to extend a product's shelf life by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold. It's most commonly found in lip care, cleansers, and treatments at concentrations of 1โ2%, and can also function as a denaturant, deodorant, or fragrance ingredient.
Unlike most cosmetic preservatives, phenol can damage skin at the concentrations typically used in products. Research has identified roughly 1.5% as the threshold at which phenol begins to cause skin damage - sitting within the range it's normally formulated at.
It works by denaturing proteins, which is what gives it both its antimicrobial activity and its potential to cause chemical burns, redness, peeling, or stinging. Phenol also has a mild local anesthetic effect, so irritation may not be felt right away even when damage is occurring. The lips and other thin-skinned areas are especially susceptible.
The use of phenol in cosmetics is prohibited in the European Union and Canada. In the United States, it remains permitted primarily in OTC drug products such as oral analgesics and medicated lip balms.
Learn more about PhenolPropylene Glycol is a synthetic, colorless, odorless liquid that has been a staple in cosmetics for decades. It is a skin conditioning agent, humectant, and solvent.
As a humectant, it draw water to the skin to reduce flaking and restore suppleness. It's also a solvent that helps dissolve other actives and keeps formulas stable across temperature changes.
The CIR Expert Panel has confirmed this ingredient to be nontoxic and clinical studies show no sensitization at cosmetic use concentrations.
True allergic reactions are quite rare: a 15-year retrospective study of 6,751 patients found only 0.31% had a positive reaction (and less than half were considered clinically relevant).
It seemed that when sensitization does occur, it's most commonly linked to topical medication (like corticosteroids) and not cosmetics. Allergic contact dermatitis also appears largely limited to individuals with underlying skin conditions.
Overall, propylene glycol is a well-studied ingredient that most people can tolerate without issue.
