Bifidobacterium refers to a genus of Gram‑positive, anaerobic bacteria that naturally occur in the human and mammalian gastrointestinal tract. In food supplements it is typically present as live cultures identified at species level and often at strain level, shown on labels with a Latin name plus a strain code or number. Because many bifidobacteria are sensitive to oxygen and moisture, common presentations are capsules or powders using protective technologies (e.g., protective matrices or microencapsulation) and the amount is usually expressed as CFU. In cosmetics, the genus name is most often encountered through fermentation-derived materials, such as Bifida Ferment Lysate or related ferment filtrates, which are not necessarily live microorganisms. These fermented materials are used in water-based formulas such as serums and creams as soluble biotech ingredients. In practice, “Bifidobacterium” on an ingredient list may indicate either an oral probiotic culture or a topical ferment derivative, so the exact meaning depends on the form stated on the label.

Cranberry is the fruit of Vaccinium macrocarpon (Ericaceae), a tart red berry used as a food and as a raw material for supplements. In products it appears as dried fruit powder, juice concentrate, or fruit extract, often standardised for polyphenols, especially proanthocyanidins (PACs), with A‑type PACs frequently highlighted. Its natural composition also includes anthocyanins, flavonols and organic acids, while the levels of these constituents vary with cultivar and processing. Cranberry is most commonly presented in capsules, tablets, drink powders and liquid formats; in cosmetics it may be used as a fruit extract or as a plant-derived aromatic component in formulations.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine in which the amino group is acetylated; on labels it may also appear as N-acetyl-L-cysteine or acetylcysteine. It is a small, water-soluble organosulfur compound that is chemically related to cysteine found naturally in proteins and in human metabolism. In food supplements it is typically supplied as a powder or in capsules/tablets containing NAC as the primary ingredient, sometimes in blends with other amino acids. In cosmetics it may be present under the INCI name “Acetyl Cysteine”, used in water-based formulas such as serums or skin-care products. As a raw material, NAC is commonly identified by its chemical name “acetylcysteine” and standard identifiers such as a CAS number, while specifications can differ by purity grade and supplied form.
Coenzyme Q10 is a lipophilic benzoquinone (ubiquinone-10) that occurs naturally in human cells and in many foods in small amounts. In food supplements it is typically provided as ubiquinone (the oxidised form) or ubiquinol (the reduced form), commonly dispersed in oils or microencapsulated for softgels, capsules or powders. In cosmetics it is most often declared under the INCI name “Ubiquinone” and is used in emulsions such as face creams, eye-area products, serums and body lotions. As a fat-soluble molecule, it is usually formulated into the oil phase and paired with other formula antioxidants to support stability. On labels it may also appear as “ubidecarenone”, a naming variant used in some markets for the same substance. Cosmetic- and supplement-grade material may be produced by fermentation or synthesis and then standardised for purity.
Centella asiatica is a herbaceous plant from the Apiaceae family, widely used in cosmetics as a source of botanical extracts. In formulations it most often appears as extracts from aerial parts or leaves, declared under INCI names such as Centella Asiatica Extract or Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, alongside other closely related centella-derived entries. Extracts may be prepared in water, glycerin, or other cosmetic solvents and are frequently standardised to characteristic triterpene fractions often referred to in cosmetic literature as “centellosides” (e.g., asiaticoside, madecassoside) or as a titrated extract. In skincare it is incorporated into a range of textures including creams, serums, gels, and emulsions, typically as a botanical component of the water phase or as a solubilised extract. Labels may also list cell-culture derived materials (e.g., callus/meristem cell culture) or leaf water, which remain centella-derived materials from the same botanical source. When used in food supplements, it is generally presented as a plant extract in capsules or powders, with specifications that vary by manufacturer.
Choline is a water-soluble organic compound often grouped with the B-complex family, occurring naturally in foods such as eggs, meat, fish and legumes, and also present in the body as part of phospholipids. In supplements it is used as choline bitartrate, choline chloride, alpha-GPC (L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) or citicoline (CDP-choline), and also via lecithin as a source of phosphatidylcholine. On labels it may also appear as “total choline” calculated from these sources. In cosmetics, choline derivatives and phospholipids can be used in formulas as components of liposomal delivery systems or within conditioning blends, typically in leave-on or rinse-off products. Choline is commonly presented in capsules, tablets, powders or liquids, often combined with phospholipids or other lipid-matrix ingredients. Composition and concentration depend on the chemical form and on how the raw material is standardised.
