• Allantoin — An organic compound with the chemical formula C4H6N4O3, resulting from the oxidation of uric acid in purine metabolism in most mammals (except higher primates and humans) or extracted from plants such as comfrey (Symphytum officinale); an active substance structurally recognized for its keratolytic, healing, anti-irritant, and intense moisturizing properties. Due to its capacity to stimulate cell proliferation and rapid regeneration of skin tissues, it is widely used in the dermatocosmetic industry for formulating creams, lotions, and ointments intended for sensitive or damaged skin.
• Aloe vera — A species of perennial succulent plant in the Asphodelaceae family, probably native to the Arabian Peninsula, but widely cultivated globally due to its exceptional medicinal, therapeutic, and cosmetic properties.

• Antiseborrheic — Combating or reducing the excessive secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands; a cosmetic product or pharmaceutical preparation formulated to regulate the lipid activity of the scalp and skin. It acts locally by deeply cleansing pores, reducing inflammation, and inhibiting the proliferation of microorganisms associated with seborrheic dermatitis, restoring the natural balance of the epidermis.
• Antisudoral — Reducing, limiting, or stopping the excessive secretion of sweat from the sweat glands in the skin. It is typically used to describe cosmetic products, dermatological treatments, or active chemical substances that act locally by temporarily blocking pores or regulating glandular activity, providing protection against moisture and unpleasant odors.
