Hyaluronic Acid
A humectant that supports water binding, plumpness and the look of elasticity. Lower molecular weights travel deeper; higher weights film the surface. It is the moisture backbone of Ceres daily and sensitive ranges.

29 entries
Niacinamide
A vitamin B3 derivative used for the look of pores, uneven tone and barrier support. pH and combinations with acids or vitamin C must be planned in the formula.
Alpha-Arbutin
A brightening active that helps even the look of discoloration. It is built with vitamin C derivatives and sunscreen in the same protocol, not as a stand-alone “eraser” claim.
Genistein
A soy isoflavone used with collagen-look and firmness claims in anti-age creams and body-sculpting formulas. It appears in Ceres anti-wrinkle and body ranges.
Argan Stem Cells
A plant cell-culture active chosen in serums and anti-age ranges to support the look of renewal. Cosmetic language does not use a “stem-cell treatment” claim.
Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A)
A vitamin A derivative that helps the look of renewal. Dose is careful in post-aesthetic repair creams; light and oxygen sensitivity drive pack choice.
Beta Glucan
A polysaccharide from oat or yeast used in repair formulas for the look of soothing and barrier support. It appears with panthenol and vitamin E in regenerative creams.
Caffeine / Carnitine
Actives used in body-sculpting creams alongside the look of local contour. They appear in professional-use products that support clinic work and do not carry a slimming claim.
Prebiotic / Pre-Biome
An approach aimed at supporting skin flora. Used in Ceres microbiome and flora-mask ranges as daily creams and masks.
AHA (Glycolic Acid)
A water-soluble hydroxy acid used in professional peels and CRS solutions to reduce the look of dead cells. pH, contact time and neutralization are written with the product.
BHA (Salicylic Acid)
An oil-soluble acid used in foams and solutions for pore and oily-skin protocols. Mucosal-area and over-use warnings belong on the label.
AHA / BHA combination
The acid pairing seen in CRS care and hydroplus solutions. Home and cabin use are built at different strengths and contact times.
Rice Exfoliator
Mechanical peel particles from rice seed. Chosen in granular cream peels to reduce the look of dead cells without scratching; particle size is set for face and body.
Glycerin
A classic humectant used in creams, lotions and alcohol disinfectants to balance dryness. High levels change tack and absorption feel.
D-Panthenol
A vitamin B5 derivative added for a soothing moisture feel in repair and cleansing formulas. A frequent partner in foams and creams.
Sodium PCA
A salt close to the skin’s NMF. It supports water binding in daily foams and lotions and fits alcohol-free claims.
Emulfeel / Double Gel Network
A gel network that sets texture and spread. In granular peel creams it helps keep particles suspended and application even.
SPF / Sunscreen filters
Mineral or chemical filter systems against UVA/UVB. Built with water resistance and an oil-free feel in Ceres targeted/tinted sunscreens and the CRS sun range.
Sun Actin / TinyWhite
Specialty active packages in sunscreens that support photoageing-look and blemish-prone claims. They do not replace the filter system; they support claim language.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
An antioxidant that supports the formula against oxidation and adds to skin feel in creams and foams. Planned together with airless or tube packs.
Vitamin C / Apple polyphenols
Used in peel-off masks and brightening ranges for glow and antioxidant-look claims. Activity drops if pH and pack oxygen are not controlled.
Ethanol 70%
Alcohol level used for antibacterial effect in Type 1 hand and skin disinfectants. Type and amount are stated on pack; glycerin balances the drying effect.
Surface disinfectant (Type 2)
CRS Bioderm alcohol-based antibacterial/antifungal surface products. Biocidal rules apply, not cosmetic ÜTS; the use surface is written on the label.
INCI
The international naming system for cosmetic ingredients. Label order (descending) and language lock together with the PIF and ÜTS.
GMP (ISO 22716)
Cosmetic good manufacturing practice covering process, records and hygiene from intake to packing. It is the backbone of Köni Kimya’s manufacturing certificate.
PIF / Product Information File
The legal file that holds formula, safety assessment, tests and labelling. It is the source material for ministry and CPNP steps.
Stability test
Monitoring appearance, odour, viscosity and pH under heat and light. It is the evidence behind shelf-life and pack decisions.
Preservative efficacy (challenge)
Measures whether the preservation system in water-based formulas holds against organisms. Pack type (jar vs airless) changes the result.
ÜTS / CPNP
Turkey’s product tracking system and the EU cosmetics notification portal. Files and languages multiply with each market; they are not closed before the formula is locked.
