Cetyl Dimethicone
Highly cross-linked silicone films are used in cosmetics to form films that absorb sebum (skin oils) and prevent shine while adding moisture to the skins surface.
Cyclopentasiloxane is a low viscosity, volatile liquid used as a carrier. It lubricates, and prevents skin from being sticky to the touch. It evaporates completely, leaving no residue.
Dimethicone is another name for polydimethylsiloxane and is used to impart a soft velvety feel to hair or skin products. It is also used as an emulsifier for "water-in-oil" emulsions.
Trimethylsiloxysilicate is a film forming resin, used to keep hand lotions and sunscreens from washing off.
Cetearyl methicone is a polysiloxane wax. It replaces petrolatum in products such as hand lotions to give them a non-greasy yet moisturizing feel.
Vitamin A Plamitate is what causes the product to eventually yellow
Vitamin A palmitate (retinyl palmitate, all-trans-retinyl palmitate) is known to normalize skin. Retinyl palmitate accounts for about 80% of the vitamin A found in the skin. The advantages of using the milder forms of vitamin A on the skin are that they are converted into retinoic acid in the cells and effectively give similar results to those seen with retinoic acid. It will help to keep skin soft and plump
Viscous, yellow oil at room temperature. At the
recommended storage temperatures, some
of the vitamin A-Palmitate may crystallize. The
assay is adjusted by adding pharmaceuticalgrade
sunflower oil. However color changes will not
decrease the effect of the oil.
