| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Glycerin Humectant | Glycerin is a widely used humectant that attracts and retains water in the skin, helping to hydrate the stratum corneum and support barrier function. It is considered safe and well-tolerated across most skin types and concentrations. |
| Chakala Unverified/unrecognized ingredient | "Chakala" is not an established or recognized name in dermatology or cosmetic chemistry, and no standardized data exists on its composition, function, or safety profile. The term may refer to a regional or vernacular plant name (in some contexts a leafy green/herb), but it lacks validated cosmetic ingredient documentation. |
| Andheri East Not a skincare ingredient | "Andheri East" is not a recognized skincare or cosmetic-chemistry ingredient; it is a suburban locality in Mumbai, India. There is no dermatological function, formulation role, or research data associated with it as a topical substance. |
| Mumbai N/A — not a recognized skincare ingredient | "Mumbai" is the name of a city in India and is not a known dermatological or cosmetic-chemistry ingredient. There is no scientific or formulation data describing it as a skincare component. |
| Non-Oily 100 hrs Hydrating Gel Humectant/hydrating gel base | A non-oily, water-based hydrating gel typically formulated with humectants such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or sodium PCA to attract and retain moisture in the skin's surface layers. It functions as a lightweight moisturizing base rather than a targeted therapeutic active. |
| Non-Oily 100 hrs Hydrating Gel Humectant/hydrating gel base | A non-oily, water-based hydrating gel typically formulated with humectants such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or sodium PCA to attract and retain moisture in the skin's surface layers.
