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.

    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.

  • Water

    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.

  • Glycerin

    Denaturant (makes alcohol undrinkable)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Hair conditioning (CosIng functional class)Humectant (holds moisture)Oral care (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Skin protecting (CosIng functional class)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    Glycerin draws in and holds moisture while conditioning and protecting skin. It also dissolves other ingredients, adjusts thickness, and can add scent. On labels it may appear as glycerol.

  • Dipropylene Glycol

    Fragrance ingredient (scent)Humectant (holds moisture)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A solvent that dissolves other ingredients and adjusts how thick the product is. It also adds fragrance. This helps the formula blend and spread evenly.

  • Zea Mays Starch

    Abrasive (physically scrubs)Absorbent (takes up oil or water)Anticaking (keeps powder free-flowing)Skin protecting (CosIng functional class)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A powdery starch that soaks up moisture and oil and helps adjust the product's thickness. It keeps the formula from clumping and can leave a smoother, less greasy finish on the skin.

    listed as “Zea Mays (Corn) Starch”

  • Erythritol

    Humectant (holds moisture)Moisturising (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    A sugar-like ingredient that draws in and holds moisture. That keeps the formula and skin from drying out and leaves skin feeling conditioned.

  • C30-45 Alkyl Methicone

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A silicone that softens and smooths skin feel and conditions the surface. It also adjusts thickness, giving the product a smooth, glide-on texture.

  • Peg-150

    Binder (holds the formula together)Humectant (holds moisture)Solvent (dissolves other ingredients)

    This ingredient works as a humectant, a solvent, and a binder. It draws in and holds moisture, dissolves other ingredients, and helps hold the mix together.

  • Trehalose

    Humectant (holds moisture)Moisturising (CosIng functional class)

    Trehalose is a sugar used as a humectant, meaning it draws in and holds moisture. That keeps skin and the formula from drying out.

  • Sodium Chloride

    Bulking agent (adds volume)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Oral care (CosIng functional class)otherViscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    Common table salt, used here mainly to adjust the thickness of the formula. It can also act as a bulking agent to add body, and shows up in oral care products. On labels it's simply salt.
