4-T-Butylcyclohexanol
4-t-butylcyclohexanol is a synthetic fatty alcohol and TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) receptor antagonist. It works by intercepting irritation signals — specifically the stinging and burning sensations triggered by environmental or chemical stimuli — before they reach sensory nerve receptors, thereby raising the skin's irritation tolerance threshold. Clinical studies show it can reduce stinging by up to 78% and burning by up to 80% within 3 minutes of application.

Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide composed of beta(1-3) linked glucose chains with beta(1-6) linked glucose side chains, derived from yeast cell walls, mushrooms, oats, and seaweed. It functions as a soothing, moisturising, and skin-repairing ingredient. Despite its large molecular size, smaller beta-glucan fractions can penetrate into the dermis, enabling anti-ageing benefits including measurable wrinkle reduction.
