Concentration: Effectiveness:
LOW
An anti-oxidant. Is also called 6-paradol. It might be able to neutralize free radicals in skin. The manufacturer claims that it is able to stimulate synthesis of hyaluronic acid in skin, but there is no evidence of effectiveness of this ingredient so far. The only evidence of efficacy for this ingredient so far come from small lab tests. This ingredient comes together with Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride as part of the complex called SymDecanox HA produced by a cosmetic ingredient supplier Symrise.
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
LOW
It is a derivative of isoeugenol, an aromatic compound in clove essential oil. It is sold to cosmetic companies under the name Sym3D. The ingredient's manufacturer claims that it is able to plump lips and have an anti-aging effect. The evidence of effectiveness, however, is weak. The lab tests with skin models (not with real people) show that it, in theory, it can increase the number and size of fat cells underneath the skin and can work as an anti-oxidant. To impact the fat cells, the ingredient, however, needs to penetrate deep through the skin - and it is unlikely that it can do this. A clinical test with 44 female volunteers conducted by the manufacturer showed that twice daily application of this ingredient in 0.25% concentration on lips increased their volume by 6% in 28 days. It is unclear where the effect is coming from. It is possible that this visible effect appears because of the skin irritation
