Ingredients explained

Too-chosen: Aqua;Water | What-it-does: solvent

Good old water, aka H2O. The well-nigh common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually discover it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it's the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.

It'south mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not similar to deliquesce in oils but rather in water.

In one case inside the skin, it hydrates, just not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin (hello long baths!) is drying.

I more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it ways that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). Like this, the products can stay more than stable over fourth dimension.

A multi-functional, silky feeling helper ingredient that tin can practise quite many things. It's used equally anemulsion stabilizer, solvent and a broad spectrum antimicrobial. According to manufacturer info, information technology'south also amoisturizer and helps to brand the product feel great on the skin. It works synergistically with preservatives and helps to improve water-resistance of sunscreens.

A natural moisturizer that's also in our skin
A super mutual, safe, effective and cheap molecule used for more l years
Not only a simple moisturizer but knows much more than: keeps the skin lipids betwixt our skin cells in a healthy (liquid crystal) state, protects against irritation, helps to restore barrier
Effective from as depression every bit 3% with even more benefits at higher concentrations up to 20-40% (effectually 10% is a good usability-effectiveness sweet spot)
Loftier-glycerin moisturizers are awesome for treating severely dry out skin

We don't have clarification for this ingredient nevertheless.

Nosotros don't accept description for this ingredient yet.

A helper ingredient that tin solubilize challenging oils and oil-loving actives into cleansing products. It too has emollient, emulsifying, and wetting properties.

Information technology'due south a helper ingredient that helps to thicken up formulas and form a overnice gel texture. It leaves a rich, elegant experience with a velvety finish on the peel and works over a wide pH range.

Information technology's pretty much the current IT-preservative. It'south safe and gentle, but even more importantly, information technology's not a feared-by-everyone-more often than not-without-scientific-reason paraben.

It'southward not something new: information technology was introduced around 1950 and today it can be used upwardly to 1% worldwide. It can be found in nature - in green tea - but the version used in cosmetics is constructed.

Other than having a good rubber profile and being quite gentle to the pare information technology has another advantages besides. It can be used in many types of formulations as it has swell thermal stability (can exist heated up to 85°C) and works on a broad range of pH levels (ph 3-10).

It's oft used together with ethylhexylglycerin as information technology nicely improves the preservative activity of phenoxyethanol.

A natural polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) that can exist institute in the cell wall of green plants. It is a natural and sustainable helper ingredient that tin can ameliorate the absorption of the formula and it also reduces oiliness on the pare. Information technology is also used as a sensory additive and thickening amanuensis.

Also-called: Titanium Dioxide/Ci 77891;Ci 77891 | What-information technology-does: colorant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0

Ci 77891 is the color lawmaking of titanium dioxide. Information technology'south a white pigment with great colour consistency and dispersibility.

As well-chosen: Blue Agave Extract | What-information technology-does: severe

We don't have clarification for this ingredient all the same.

If you lot take spotted ethylhexylglycerin on the ingredient listing, most probably you volition see in that location too the current It-preservative, phenoxyethanol. They are good friends because ethylhexylglycerin can boost the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol (and other preservatives) and every bit an added bonus it feels squeamish on the pare too.

Also, it's an effective deodorant and a medium spreadingemollient.

Also-chosen: Fragrance, Parfum | What-information technology-does: perfuming

Exactly what it sounds: nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the cease product also smells squeamish. Fragrance in the US and parfum in the EU is a generic term on the ingredient list that is fabricated upwards of 30 to l chemicals on average (just information technology tin take as much as 200 components!).

If you are someone who likes to know what y'all put on your face so fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what's really in it.

Too, if your skin is sensitive, fragrance is again non your best friend. It'southward the number one crusade of contact allergy to cosmetics. Information technology's definitely a smart affair to avert with sensitive pare (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if non worse!).

Also-chosen: Vitamin Due east Acetate | What-it-does: antioxidant | Irritancy: 0 | Comedogenicity: 0

It's the most normally used version of pure vitamin E in cosmetics. Y'all can read all about the pure class here. This one is the so-called esterified version.

According to famous dermatologist, Leslie Baumann while tocopheryl acetate is more than stable and has a longer shelf life, information technology'due south too more poorly absorbed by the peel and may not have the same awesome photoprotective furnishings every bit pure Vit E.

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite is the synthetic version of the super commonly used mineral, Mica. The advantage of being synthetic is that information technology has a more consequent quality, fewer impurities and an even lower heavy metal content than Mica (not that Mica'south heavy metal content is loftier). It is also more than transparent and has improved light reflection.

The two main use cases for Synthetic Fluorphlogopite is being used neat as a superior "filler" orskin tone enhancer or information technology tin can also serve as a base for multi-layered, composite pigments such as pearl effect pigments where information technology is coated with ane or more layers of metal oxide, most commonly titanium dioxide.

It'due south the - sodium class - cousin of the famous NMF, hyaluronic acid (HA). If HA does not tell you anything nosotros have a super detailed, geeky explanation near it hither. The TL; DR version of HA is that it's a huge polymer (big molecule from repeated subunits) found in the skin that acts as a sponge helping the skin to hold onto water, being plump and elastic. HA is famous for its crazy h2o holding capacity as it tin can bind upwards to 1000 times its own weight in h2o.

As far as skincare goes, sodium hyaluronate and hyaluronic acrid are pretty much the same and the 2 names are used interchangeably. Equally corrective chemist kindofstephen writes on reddit "sodium hyaluronate disassociates into hyaluronic acid molecule and a sodium atom in solution".

In spite of this, if yous search for "hyaluronic acid vs sodium hyaluronate" you will find on multiple places that sodium hyaluronate is smaller and can penetrate the skin better. Chemically, this is definitely non true, equally the 2 forms are almost the same, both are polymers and the subunits can be repeated in both forms as much every bit y'all like. (We too checked Prospector for sodium hyaluronate versions actually used in corrective products and found that the nigh mutual molecular weight was 1.5-1.8 million Da that absolutely counts equally loftier molecular weight).

What seems to be a truthful deviation, though, is that the salt course is more stable, easier to codify and cheaper so information technology pops up more often on the ingredient lists.

If you wanna become a real HA-and-the-skin expert you tin can read way more virtually the topic at hyaluronic acid (including penetration-questions, differences between high and low molecular weight versions and a bunch of references to scientific literature).

Super common little helper ingredient thathelps products to remain squeamish and stable for a longer time. It does so by neutralizing the metal ions in the formula (that usually get into in that location from water) that would otherwise cause some not and so nice changes.

Information technology is typically used in tiny amounts, effectually 0.1% or less.

A carbohydrate beet derived amino acid derivative with nice skin protection and moisturization properties. Betain'due south special thing is being an osmolyte, a molecule that helps to command cell-water residual. It is also a natural osmoprotectant, meaning that it attracts h2o abroad from the protein surface and thus protects them from denaturation and increases their thermodynamic stability.

Information technology also gives sensorial benefits to the formula and when used in cleansers, it helps to brand them milder and gentler.

Far from the tin can cans you find in the supermarket, Tin Oxide is mostly used when dealing with so-called outcome pigments, tricky composite pigments that can do colour travel (change color depending on the viewing angle) or give multiple color upshot.

Information technology'due south frequently found aslope Mica (every bit a base material) and Titanium Dioxide (equally a coating) to give a sleeky, pearlescent outcome. Together, they brand up a trademarked engineering science called RonaFlair Blanace from the German manufacturer Merck. Co-ordinate to their info, this combination can balance out undesirable tones in the peel, making it a popular choice for brightening products and highlighters.

Other than that, CosIng (the official EU INCI database) lists its uses every bit existence a bulking agent (to increase the book of products), as well as a concrete exfoliant or an opacifying agent, but being office of composite outcome pigments is a much more common employ example.

Likewise-chosen: Reddish 4;Ci 14700 | What-it-does: colorant

A common colorant that gives products a nice ruddy color.

Also-chosen: Tartrazine, Yellow v;Ci 19140 | What-it-does: colorant
