Hyaluronic acid als KROKOGRA Wirkstoffmotiv01
Polysaccharide · Glycosaminoglycan

Hyaluronic acid

Moisture-binding polysaccharide

Hyaluronic acid is an unbranched glycosaminoglycan. In topical formulations, it is used because of its water-binding properties and can support hydrating care.

Repeat unit
(C₁₄H₂₁NO₁₁)ₙ
Building blocks
D-glucuronic acid + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine

Sheabutter als KROKOGRA Wirkstoffmotiv02
Plant butter · Triacylglycerols

Shea butter

Rich vegetable lipid base

Shea butter consists predominantly of triacylglycerols. Oleic acid and stearic acid characterise their typical fatty acid profile; the composition varies according to origin and processing.

Grape seed oil als KROKOGRA Wirkstoffmotiv03
vegetable oil · lipid component

Grape seed oil

Light vegetable oil with unsaturated fatty acids

Grape seed oil typically has a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids. In oils studied, linoleic acid and – with a lower proportion – oleic acid dominate.

Lecithin als KROKOGRA Wirkstoffmotiv05
Phospholipid mixture · emulsifier

Lecithin

Functional phospholipid mixture

Lecithin is not a single molecule, but a mixture of phospholipids. In formulations, it can act at interfaces between oil and water and thereby support the formation of emulsions.

Typical component
Phosphatidylcholine
Formulation function
Combination of oil and water phase

Krokodilöl als KROKOGRA Wirkstoffmotiv06
Animal oil · lipid raw material

Crocodile oil

Characteristic animal lipid component

Analyses of various crocodiles regularly report palmitic, oleic and linoleic acid. The type, origin, feeding, extraction and batch affect the actual fatty acid profile.

OUR PRINCIPLE

Scientifically based. Used responsibly.

We deliberately distinguish between the description of a raw material, its function in a formulation and the proof of an effect on the finished product. That is why we formulate transparently, cosmetically and without promises of salvation.

Literature and classification

The linked publications serve the general classification of raw materials and substance classes. They do not replace the specification of the batch used or a test of the finished product.

  1. 01
    Hyaluronic acid: Topical Hyaluronic Acid: Overview of Skin Quality and Hydration ↗

    Review work on topical hyaluronic acid; the results of individual formulations are not automatically applicable to other products.

  2. 02
    Sheabutter: Composition of shea butter after processing and fractionation ↗

    The literature describes typical raw material profiles; the specific raw material specification is decisive for the specific recipe.

  3. 03
    Grape seed oil: Fatty acid and tocopherol profile of grape seed oil ↗

    The percentages vary, among other things, with grape variety, origin and production methods.

  4. 04
    Grapefruit oil: Safety assessment of citrus-based shell oils in cosmetics ↗

    Citrus oils must be formulated in such a way that the final product is non-irritant or sensitising; oxidation and photosensitivity must be considered in relation to raw materials.

  5. 05
    Lecithin: Overview of newer emulsifiers in cosmetic formulations ↗

    The specific function depends on origin, phospholipid profile, concentration and overall formulation.

  6. 06
    Crocodile oil: Current overview of research on crocodile oils ↗

    Raw material analyses of different types of crocodiles are described; no proof of efficacy for a finished cosmetic product follows from this.

Cosmetic classification

KROKOGRA® products are cosmetic products and not medicines. They are used for external care and are not intended for the diagnosis, treatment, healing or prevention of diseases. Individual tolerability can vary; product labelling and the INCI list are relevant.
