Ingredients Side-by-side
Cyclohexasiloxane is a type of silicone more commonly known as D6. It is an emollient and solvent.
Phenyl Trimethicone is a silicon-based polymer. It is derived from silica.
Isohexadecane is added to enhance texture, emulsify, and to help cleanse. It is an isoparrafin. It is a component of petrolatum.
Polyethylene is a synthetic ingredient that helps the skin retain moisture. It is a polymer.
Cyclopentasiloxane is a silicone used to improve texture and trap moisture. An easier name for this is D5.
Aluminum Hydroxide is a form of aluminum. It can be naturally found in nature as the mineral gibbsite. In cosmetics, Aluminum Hydroxide is used as a colorant, pH adjuster, and absorbent.
This ingredient comes from a fatty acid (lauric acid) and amino acid (lysine). It is used to add a silky feel to cosmetics.
Ci 77491 is also hydrated iron III oxide. It's sole purpose is to give a red/pink hue to products.
Ci 77492 is also hydrated iron III oxide. It's sole purpose is to give a yellow hue to products.
