About
A small synthetic or naturally derived molecule used to help suppress microbes in the formula or on skin and support hydration. It is usually acceptable in well-formulated products, though sensitive skin can still react.
This is a smaller, more defined ingredient than a plant extract, but it still depends on concentration and purity for its final safety profile. At typical cosmetic use levels, the main downside is local irritation, allergy, or formula-dependent sensitivity rather than strong systemic risk.
