• VP/Eicosene Copolymer

  Binder (holds the formula together)Film forming (leaves a thin coating)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

  VP/Eicosene Copolymer forms a thin film on the skin and helps hold the formula together. It also adjusts the product's thickness, so it stays put and has the right texture.

• Trimethylsiloxysilicate

  Antifoaming (stops the formula foaming)Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

  A silicone-based ingredient that conditions and softens skin. It also cuts down foaming during mixing, keeping the formula from getting bubbly.

• Phenoxyethanol

  Preservative (inhibits microbial growth)

  This is a preservative that fights microbes. It helps keep the product from spoiling over time.

• Cetyl Palmitate

  Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

  A waxy emollient that softens and smooths skin feel. It conditions skin and adds body to the product's texture.

• Xanthan Gum

  Binder (holds the formula together)Emulsion stabilizer (keeps oil and water mixed)Gel forming (sets the formula into a gel)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Surfactant (cleanses or mixes oil and water)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

  A thickener that adjusts how thick the product is and forms a gel-like texture. It keeps oil and water mixed and stops the blend from separating, giving a stable, even feel.

• Physalis Angulata Extract

  Skin protecting (CosIng functional class)
