Ingredient Analysis

1. ↑ cleansing/lathering OR emulsifying agents ( Ceteth-,Sodium Polyacrylate ) depending on the product, this ingredient cleanses; emulsifies; lathers; makes products foamy/creamy & spread better

2. ↑ Magnesium Aluminium Silicate ( Magnesium Aluminum Silicate ) a natural mica used as an alternative to talc, as a binding agent; gives a smooth feel

3. ↑ Hydroxyethyl Ethylcellulose ( ethylcellulose ) Binding agent; Emulsifier; Emulsion Stabilizer; Film-forming agent; Thickener; Viscosity Controlling

4. ↑ Glyceryl Stearate SE. self-emulsifying emollient & thickening agent, the higher up an ingredient list it is, the thicker the formula

5. ↑ C13-14 Isoparaffin. emollient; solvent

6. ↑ Acrylates Copolymer. absorbs oil in products & skin; suspends other ingredients

7. ↑ Ammonium Hydroxide. pH adjuster

8. ↑ Cetearyl Glucoside. a blend of cetearyl alcohol and glucose that functions as an emulsifier and surfactant

9. ↑ Titanium Dioxide. A broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen; sometimes used as a pigment & for its opacity

10. ↑ Propylene Glycol. solvent; humectant; gives a product "slip"; helps "carry" other ingredients into the skin; also enhances the efficacy of preservatives; controls viscosity

11. ↑ buffering agent ( Sodium Hydroxide ) a buffering agent (stabilizes pH)

12. ↑ PVM/MA Copolymer. binder, film former, hair fixative, emulsion stabilizer, suspending agent, viscosity controlling agent

13. ↑ Polyacrylamide. Polyacrylamide is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an antistatic, formula binding, film forming ingredient.

14. ↑ Propylparaben. Propylparaben is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an fragrance, preservative ingredient.

15. ↑ Glycolic Acid. Proven to reduce fine lines & wrinkles; hyperpigmentation; smooths, exfoliates & thickens skin; increases skin hydration & elasticity; good melasma treatment

16. ↑ polysorbates ( Polysorbate-20 ) general purpose hydrophilic, nonionic surfactant; helps other ingredients to dissolve in a solvent in which they would not normally dissolve. Polysorbates also help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.

17. ↑ preservatives ( Methylparabe ) Used as a preservative or enhances the efficacy of preservatives

18. ↑ Trisiloxane. Trisiloxane is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an anti-foaming, moisturizing ingredient.

19. ↑ Coconut Oil. emollient, hair conditioner, masking, skin conditioner, solvent - can be pore-clogging for some

20. ↑ Vitamin E ( Tocopherol ) Antioxidant emollient & occlusive moisturizer with proven effects: protects the epidermis from early stages of ultraviolet light damage; increases the efficacy of active sunscreen ingredients; reduces the formation of free radicals upon skin exposure to UVA rays and other sources of skin stress; reduces transepidermal water loss from skin and strengthens the skin's barrier function; protects the skin barrier's oil (lipid) balance during the cleansing process; reduces the severity of sunburn; preservative (if at the end of the list)

21. ↑ methicone. Methicone is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an antistatic, emollient moisturizing ingredient.

22. ↑ solvents ( Water,Aqua ) solvent

23. ↑ Laureth-. surfactant: the higher the number, the more viscosity of the ingredient increases until it becomes a white waxy solid. Some research shows that the lower the value, the higher the risk of irritation.

24. ↑ Glycerin. A humectant moisturizer; usually used as a base in (light) moisturizers

25. ↑ Styrene. Functions in skincare and cosmetics as a/an fragrance ingredient.

26. ↑ Silica. Silica is used in skincare and cosmetics as a/an abrasive exfoliating, absorbing, anti-caking, bulking aka makes a product bulkier, opacifying aka makes the formula less clear, viscosity controlling ingredient.
