Cyclopentasiloxane is a silicone used to improve texture and trap moisture. An easier name for this is D5.
Cyclohexasiloxane is a type of silicone more commonly known as D6. It is an emollient and solvent.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Peg-10 Dimethicone is silicone with conditioner and emulsifier properties. It mostly acts as an emollient in skincare and and humectant in haircare.
This silicone is an emollient. Emollients create a thin film on the skin to prevent moisture from escaping.
Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone is a type of silicone.
This silica is mainly used to thicken oils and suspend particles in oils. It is not water soluble.
Chances are, you eat sodium chloride every day. Sodium Chloride is also known as table salt.
Triethoxycaprylylsilane is a silicone used to bind and stabilize ingredients.
Dimethicone is a silicone used for making products smooth and silky. It also has the added benefit of sealing in hydration. The amount of dimethicone found in beauty products is considered safe and non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores.
Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a silicone used to improve the texture of products and absorb oil. It does not get absorbed into the skin.
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.
Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.
This ingredient is a solvent. It helps dissolve active ingredients and alter the texture of products.
Disteardimonium Hectorite comes from the clay mineral named hectorite. It is used to add thickness to a product.
Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
This ingredient is a high molecular weight silicone. It has emulsifying and skin conditioning properties.
Antioxidant 4 Benefits May cause irritation
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate (long name, huh?) is a synthetic antioxidant.
Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
Ci 77891 is a white pigment from Titanium dioxide. It is naturally found in minerals such as rutile and ilmenite.
