Understanding Cosmetic Ingredients
Cosmetic formulations are complex, with each ingredient serving a specific purpose, such as:
- Solvents (e.g., WATER/AQUA): Form the base of the product, dissolving other ingredients.
- Emollients & Silicones (e.g., CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, DIMETHICONE derivatives): Provide a smooth texture, aid in spreadability, and can create a matte or soft-focus effect.
- Pigments (e.g., TITANIUM DIOXIDE, IRON OXIDES): Responsible for the product's color and coverage. Titanium Dioxide also offers UV protection.
- Humectants (e.g., GLYCERIN, BUTYLENE GLYCOL): Attract and retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated.
- Film-Formers (e.g., TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE, ACRYLATES/DIMETHICONE COPOLYMER): Create a protective barrier on the skin, enhancing wear time and resistance to water.
- Thickeners & Stabilizers (e.g., NYLON-12, MAGNESIUM SULFATE): Help maintain the product's consistency and stability.
- Preservatives (e.g., PHENOXYETHANOL): Prevent microbial growth, ensuring product safety and shelf life.
Always check the specific product packaging for the most accurate and complete ingredient list, as formulations can be updated.
