Propanediol (also known as 1,3-propanediol) is an organic solvent, emollient, and adsorption booster derived from corn starch. It solubilizes and emulsifies oil, dirt, and makeup and rinses off the skin.
Organic compounds
Organic compounds are an inherent part of skin care products. These ingredients are structurally similar to natural body compounds, making them efficient in many functions. For example, they easily penetrate the layers of skin, stimulate the synthesis of skin proteins, fight free radicals, and ''dissolve" dead skin cells. Thus, organic compounds visibly ameliorate skin wrinkling, sagging, and scaling.
Propylene Glycol is diol alcohol (contains two hydroxy groups in 1 and 2 positions - Propane-1,2-diol), a humectant or humidifying and delivery ingredient used in cosmetics. It is a water-white liquid readily soluble in water.
Propylene Glycol Stearate SE is a primary emulsifier for lotions and low-viscosity creams. It is a self-emulsifying (SE) option of Propylene Glycol Stearate with sodium and/or potassium stearate contamination.
Propylparaben is a propyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, a widely used broad-spectrum preservative used in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and some foods. It has intensive growth-inhibiting effects on mold fungi, yeasts, and bacteria.
Resorcinol, or 1,3 dihydroxybenzene, is a common chemical intermediate that finds utility in applications ranging from wood glue resins, leather dyes, pharmacology, and permanent hair-coloring products.
Resveratrol Dimethyl Ether (Pterostilbene) is a phytoalexin found in grapes and berries. Structurally close to resveratrol and exhibiting similar properties, it is one of the primary antioxidant elements of blueberries.
Potent complex of zinc, copper and magnesium, Mineral Energizer is formulated to energize the skin at a cellular level and allow it to breathe for a clear, fresh, radiant complexion.
SILA detox stimulates the skin‘s own defense and immune system, ensures higher cell quality by removing cell debris from the cell membranes (detoxification), has a rejuvenating effect also on stem cells, keeps skin healthy, plump, and fresh.
Approved by FDA as a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) ingredient, Sodium Benzoate is well-known, globally trusted, and remarkably effective preservative for skin, eye, lip, and hair care products.
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is an aqueous solution of sodium olefin sulfonate which is produced by the continuous sulfonation of alpha olefins. It is a light yellow pearly liquid.
Sodium Citrate is a common name for sodium salts (monosodium, disodium, or trisodium citrate) of citric acid is used as a food-grade preservative.
Amphopropionates, also known as “salt-free” amphoterics, have been used for many years in personal care products. There are two types, mono- and di-propionates.
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a mild surfactant designed for cleansing products. It is nearly salt-free and resistant to hard and salt water with high foaming properties.
Sodium Dehydroacetate is the sodium salt of dehydroacetic acid (DHA) and is a tasteless and white powder. It is used as a fungicide and plasticizer in toothpaste and pharmaceuticals. Sodium Dehydroacetate is a food-grade preservative and mold inhibitor labeled as E266.
It is widely used in skin and hair care preparations thanks to numerous beneficial actions, including humectant, buffering, antiseptic, energizing, thickener, emollient, and preservative.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is derived from coconut and it is used primarily as a detergent-cleansing agent. It is the sodium salt of the ether sulfate obtained through the sulfation of ethoxylated lauryl alcohol.
Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate is the product of a condensation reaction of lauric acid and lactylate.
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (Sarkosyl) is a sodium salt of Lauroyl Sarcosinate, an ester of Lauroyl alcohol and Sarcosine amino acid. It is a secondary surfactant in a wide range of cleansing applications.
Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate is a sodium salt of 2-Sulfolauric acid, a mild surfactant with good foaming and cleaning power. It is a clear yellow liquid, an eco-friendly, readily biodegradable, and versatile ingredient derived from coconut fatty acids for cleansing applications.
Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate is a white, soft-paste surfactant that provides a creamy, high-volume foam for facial cleansers, liquid soap, and shampoos. It exhibits outstanding foaming properties even with high oil content in the formulation.
Sodium Myreth Sulfate is a highly active, ethoxylated surfactant for use in all types. A good alternative to Lauryl Sulfates or Laureth Sulfates.
Sodium sorbate (2,4-Hexadienoic Acid, Sodium Salt) is the sodium salt of sorbic acid. It is a white powder, unstable in the solid state, thus it is produced as an aqueous solution in concentrations up to 30% which is a clear to yellow, nearly odorless liquid.
Sorbic acid, a six-carbon unsaturated (2,4-hexadienoic acid) fatty acid, is a white, free-flowing crystalline powder with a slight characteristic odor. It is a food-grade preservative and mold inhibitor, slightly soluble in water and freely soluble in ethanol and ether.
Sorbitan Caprylate is a preservative booster derived from renewable raw materials. It is a sustainable ingredient that assists the efficacy of preserving agents. In addition, it can serve as an emulsifier, emollient, or viscosity control agent (thickener).
Sorbitan Isostearate is an ester of sorbitan with Isostearic acid, a completely saturated branched liquid fatty acid. It is an excellent water-in-oil emulsifier with an HLB value of 4.7.
Sorbitan Oleate (sorbitan monooleate; SMO) is a gold-colored viscous liquid derived from a vegetable-based oleic acid source and specially processed to optimize its emulsification properties. It is a powerful and cost-effective oil-in-water emulsifier with a low HLB of 4.3.
Sorbitan Olivate is a natural emulsifier derived from Olive oil for water-in-oil cosmetic formulations.
Sorbitan tristearate is a sorbitol ester (triester) with stearic acid, a white creamy solid.
