What each ingredient generally does

Each entry that matched a canonical ingredient, with the function recorded for it. These notes describe the role an ingredient plays in a formulation. They do not assess an ingredient.

  • Avobenzone

    Light stabiliser (protects the formula from light)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also acts as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up under sun exposure. On labels it also appears as Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane.

  • Homosalate

    Fragrance ingredient (scent)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also adds scent to the product.

  • Octisalate

    Light stabiliser (protects the formula from light)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light, and doubles as a light stabilizer to keep the formula steady in sun. It also appears on labels as Ethylhexyl Salicylate.

  • Octocrylene

    Light stabiliser (protects the formula from light)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also serves as a light stabilizer, helping keep other filters and the formula intact under sunlight.

  • Oxybenzone

    Light stabiliser (protects the formula from light)UV absorber (protects the formula from light, not a sunscreen filter)UV filter (filters UV rays)

    Oxybenzone is an organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also works as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up under sun exposure. On labels it often appears as Benzophenone-3.

  • Water

    Antiplaque (CosIng functional class)otherSkin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    The base liquid that most of the other ingredients dissolve or spread into. It carries the formula and helps condition the skin surface.

  • Cyclopentasiloxane

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Hair conditioning (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    This is a lightweight silicone used to condition skin and hair and to soften and smooth skin feel. It also acts as a solvent, helping the product spread and dissolve other ingredients.

  • Alcohol Denat.

    Antifoaming (stops the formula foaming)Astringent (CosIng functional class)Fragrance ingredient (scent)otherPreservative (inhibits microbial growth)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    Alcohol Denat. is ethyl alcohol with additives that make it undrinkable, used as a solvent to dissolve ingredients and thin the formula. It also cuts foam, tightens skin as an astringent, and adjusts thickness. Denat. simply means it has been denatured.

    listed as “alcohol denat”

  • Silica

    Abrasive (physically scrubs)Absorbent (takes up oil or water)Anticaking (keeps powder free-flowing)Bulking agent (adds volume)Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)otherViscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    Silica is a fine mineral powder that soaks up excess moisture and oil, and adjusts how thick the product feels. It keeps powders from clumping, adds bulk, and can make a formula look more opaque. Its chemical name is silicon dioxide.

  • Dicaprylyl Ether

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    This is an emollient and solvent that softens skin feel and helps dissolve other ingredients. It gives the product a light, easy-to-spread feel.

  • Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer

    Film forming (leaves a thin coating)Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)

    Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer forms a film and makes the product look opaque. In practice it leaves a thin layer on the skin and gives the formula a non-transparent appearance.

  • PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

    Surfactant (cleanses or mixes oil and water)

    An emulsifier. It keeps the oil and water parts blended together so the formula stays even.

  • Dimethicone

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

    A silicone that softens and smooths skin feel and forms a protective layer on the surface. It also cuts down foam during production, keeping the formula settled.

  • Cyclohexasiloxane

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Hair conditioning (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    This is a lightweight silicone that softens and smooths skin feel and also conditions hair. It works as a solvent too, helping other ingredients dissolve and the product spread easily.

  • Polymethylsilsesquioxane

    Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)

    This is an opacifier, meaning it makes the product look less see-through. It gives the formula a more solid, opaque appearance.

  • Nylon-12

    Bulking agent (adds volume)Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

  • Disteardimonium Hectorite

    Light stabiliser (protects the formula from light)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A thickener that adjusts how thick or thin the product is. It also works as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up against light exposure.

  • Disodium EDTA

    Chelating (binds metal ions in the formula)otherViscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)
