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.

  • Octinoxate

    UV filter (filters UV rays)Light stabilizer (protects the formula from light)

    An organic UV filter that absorbs ultraviolet light. It also acts as a light stabilizer, helping the formula hold up when exposed to sunlight. You'll often see it listed as Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate.

  • Octisalate

    UV filter (filters UV rays)Light stabilizer (protects the formula from light)

    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.

  • Lanolin Oil

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Hair conditioning (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    The liquid part of lanolin, used to condition skin and hair. It softens and smooths the skin feel of the product.

  • Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

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

    An oily liquid that softens and smooths the skin feel while helping set the product's thickness. In practice it gives the formula a slip and body so it spreads and stays where you put it.

  • Ozokerite

    Binder (holds the formula together)Emulsion stabilizer (keeps oil and water mixed)Opacifier (makes the formula less see-through)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A wax that thickens the formula and helps hold it together. It adjusts thickness, keeps the oil and water parts from separating, binds ingredients, and makes the product more opaque.

    An oil from meadowfoam seeds used as a skin conditioner. It helps the skin feel smooth and soft.

  • 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)Viscosity 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.

  • Mineral Oil
