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.

  • Octocrylene

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Avobenzone

    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 under sun exposure. On labels it also appears as Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane.

  • Ethylhexyl Palmitate

    Emollient (softens and smooths skin)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    A lightweight oil that softens and smooths the skin feel. It gives the product a slip that helps it spread easily, and it also adds scent.

  • Synthetic Beeswax

    Binder (holds the formula together)Emulsion stabilizer (keeps oil and water mixed)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    A wax used to thicken formulations, improve structure, and help products maintain a firm, spreadable texture.

  • Polyethylene

    Abrasive (physically scrubs)Film forming (leaves a thin coating)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    Polyethylene is a plastic-type material that acts as a mild scrub particle, a film former, and a thickness adjuster. That means it can smooth or polish the skin surface, leave a thin coating as the product dries, and adjust how thick the formula is.

  • Microcrystalline Wax

    Binder (holds the formula together)Bulking agent (adds volume)Emulsion stabilizer (keeps oil and water mixed)Viscosity control (thickens or thins the formula)

    This is a fine-crystal wax. It binds ingredients together, adds bulk, thickens the product, and keeps the oil and water parts from separating.

  • Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate

    Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate is a skin-conditioning ingredient. That means it helps soften and improve how the skin feels.

  • Hydrogenated Polyisobutene 8

    No general role is recorded for this ingredient in the inventory we hold. That is a gap in our record, not a statement about the ingredient.

  • 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)Viscosity 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.

  • Tocopherol

    Antioxidant (slows the formula oxidizing)Fragrance ingredient (scent)Occlusive (CosIng functional class)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)

    Tocopherol is a form of vitamin E used as an antioxidant, which helps keep the formula from going off. It also conditions skin and forms a thin surface layer that slows moisture loss. You may see it listed simply as vitamin E.

  • Bisabolol

    Fragrance ingredient (scent)Skin conditioning (CosIng functional class)Soothing (CosIng functional class)

    A conditioning and soothing ingredient that also adds a light fragrance. It softens the skin's feel and contributes scent to the product. On labels it may also appear as Levomenol.
