Learn more about Silica Dimethyl SilylateCaprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.

The name is slightly confusing. This is because INCI associates aroma with flavor instead of smell.

“Aroma is a term for ingredient labeling used to identify that a product contains a material or combination of materials normally added to a cosmetic to produce or to mask a particular flavor.”
INCI shows the only purpose of aroma to be "flavouring".
However, due to regulation differences, some companies may use aroma in place of parfum.
In Canada, this ingredient only has to be listed in concentrations above 1%.
