Benzophenone-4 is a water-soluble benzophenone-class UV filter that absorbs UVB and short UVA radiation, used in sunscreens and as a photostabilizer to protect formulations from light-induced degradation. It is typically incorporated at low concentrations as part of a broader UV protection system.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the appearance of plumpness and smoothness. It is widely used in moisturizers and serums and is generally well tolerated across skin types.
Biotin (vitamin B7) is a water-soluble vitamin used in topical formulations as a conditioning agent, though evidence for meaningful benefit to skin, hair, or nails when applied topically is limited. It is more commonly associated with oral supplementation claims for hair and nail health.
Aggregated from the active ingredients in this product.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Contact dermatitis / skin irritation | Uncommon | Localized redness or itching reported in sensitive individuals. |
Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | Benzophenones are recognized contact allergens, though sensitization rates are low. |
Photoallergic reaction | Rare | Reactions triggered or worsened by sun exposure documented in patch-test studies. |
Stinging on application near eyes | Uncommon | Possible transient discomfort with mucosal contact. |
Transient skin tightness or dryness | Uncommon | May occur in low-humidity environments where the ingredient can draw moisture from deeper skin layers if not sealed with an occlusive. |
Mild irritation, redness, or stinging | Uncommon | Often related to other formulation components or compromised skin barrier rather than hyaluronic acid itself. |
Hypersensitivity reactions with injectable forms | Rare | Pertains to dermal filler use rather than topical application; includes swelling or nodule formation. |
Skin irritation or redness at application site | Rare | Topical biotin is generally well tolerated; mild local irritation may occur in sensitive individuals. |
Interference with laboratory test results | Uncommon | Primarily linked to high-dose oral intake rather than topical use; can skew certain immunoassays. |
No documented side effects | Very rare | Because the ingredient is not recognized in scientific or regulatory sources, no reliable adverse-effect data exist; this entry reflects absence of information rather than confirmed safety. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
