  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.

• Water

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

• 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.
