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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Butyloctyl Salicylate

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

    A liquid that conditions skin and hair and acts as a solvent. It softens skin feel and helps dissolve and spread other ingredients in the mix.

  • Hydrated 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)

    Hydrated Silica is a form of silica, a mineral made of silicon and oxygen, that contains bound water. In cosmetics it is used as an abrasive, thickener, or absorbent, and can help control texture or matte appearance. It is the same basic mineral family as sand and quartz in a processed, powdered form.

  • VP/Hexadecene Copolymer

    Binder (holds the formula together)Dispersing, non-surfactant (spreads solids without acting as a surfactant)Film forming (leaves a thin coating)Hair fixing (holds hair in place)otherViscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A film-forming polymer that leaves a thin, even layer as the product dries. This helps the formula stay put on skin, keeps ingredients spread evenly, and adjusts how thick the product is. It also helps bind the mix together.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Polyester-8

    Film forming (leaves a thin coating)otherSkin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    This is a film-forming polymer that also conditions the skin. It lays down a thin layer on the surface and helps the skin feel smooth.
