3 | polyacrylamide | Used to improve product texture and help oil and water mix together |
4 | ethylhexyl palmitate | An emollient that helps soften the skin and create a nice product texture |
5 | glycerin | One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant |
6 | c13-14 isoparaffin | Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, dissolve other ingredients and create a thicker product consistency |
7 | phenoxyethanol | A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products |
8 | caprylyl glycol | Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture |
9 | pullulan | Creates a thin drying film on the skin resulting in a short-term tightening effect |
10 | laureth-7 | Helps oil and water mix together |
11 | tocopheryl acetate | A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients. |
12 | tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate | Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. |
