Product Information

It also helps to disperse insoluble particles (think color pigments or zinc/titanium dioxide sunscreen) nice and even in cosmetic formulas. The generic term for nice smelling stuff put into cosmetic products so that the end product also smells nice.

Most often, it comes to the formula coupled with two fatty alcohol friends, Arachidyl and Behenyl alcohol, to make up an emulsifier trio trade named Montanov 202. A clear, colorless and odorless, highly volatile (meaning it does not absorb into the skin but evaporates from it) liquid that's used as an emollient and gives a nice, non-oily light skin-feel. A high-molecular-weight silicone elastomer (rubber-like elastic material) that is usually blended with a base silicone fluid (such as dimethicone or cyclopentasiloxane) to give the formula a silky smooth feel and to act as a thickening agent. It’s a nice ingredient that just feels good on the skin, is super well tolerated by every skin type and easy to formulate with.

INCI is a list of the standardized and internationally accepted names used in the declaration of ingredients on cosmetic and personal care products. A recent, 2016 study shows that inorganic sunscreens work mostly by absorption, just like chemical filters, and only a little bit by reflection (they do reflect the light in the visible spectrum, but mostly absorb in the UV spectrum). This makes it a partly water- and partly oil-soluble material, meaning it functions as an emulsifier helping oil and water to mix. Meet the recommended dermatologist regimen to be used in conjunction with acne medications and treatments.

It also leaves the skin soft, but not oily, is hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic making it perfect for both oily and sensitive skin formulas. Overall, if you are into retinoids, Retinal is a really awesome and well-proven member of the family that is absolutely worth trying. A handy multi-tasker, white to light yellowish oil-loving wax that works very well in oil-in-water emulsions. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint. An ingredient that is created from the attachment of the water-loving sugar molecule, glucose, and an oil-loving 20 carbon long fatty chain.A physical/inorganic sunscreen with pretty broad spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection and good stability.

You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. One more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). I’m in my mid-twenties and while my days of acne and breakouts aren’t fully behind me, aging is also becoming a top concern for me.Another advantage of squalane is that it is pretty much compatible with all skin types and skin conditions.
