Do you feel like reading the bible when you see the ingredient list on cosmetics? But the heart always wants to know what it actually writes? So Baidu, Baidu, and then Baidu, but there are so many things in the table that you have never finished Baidu. Even if Baidu is finished, you still have not figured it out... If you have such confusion, you are blessed. The purpose of this article is Help you quickly identify the auxiliary ingredients in the cosmetic ingredient list, so that you can understand the "Book of Heaven".
1. Carbomer copolymers are mostly functional carriers or functional polymers. These substances are generally not absorbed by the human body, for example: acrylic (ester) copolymers, typical representatives such as Carbomer 940, Carbomer 980, Carbomer 2021, etc., its main function is to thicken, suspend, and emulsify.
2. A certain silane/siloxane is generally a solvent and is basically safe, such as: polydimethyl silane, epoxy dimethyl siloxane, cyclopentadimethyl siloxane; certain Most of the glycols are solvents and moisturizing effects, which can be ignored directly, such as: ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butanediol;
3. Plant name + alcohol/oil/fat. These substances may be active ingredients rather than auxiliary ingredients, but most of them are harmless, such as evening primrose oil, shea butter;
4. A certain stearic acid/stearate is generally not a serious problem, usually emulsifiers, such as: diethanol distearic acid, tridecyl stearate, dipolyhydroxy stearate Fatty acid ester, sucrose stearate;
 Generally speaking, the main ingredients will appear in the first 5-10 ingredients of skin care products, and the lower ingredients are usually low in content and cannot play a major role at all. If you look at the ingredient list, you can see the middle of the ingredient list at most, or if you can find the 1% key point, look at the ingredients before the 1% key point. These ingredients are all worth seeing, but the content after that is very low. Common thickeners: xanthan gum, cellulose, carbomer are the 1% dividing line.
 The role of carbomer used in skin care products is to thicken, can enhance the viscosity of skin care products, so that skin care products such as water and milk will not flow like water, so that skin care products can better adhere to the skin, although It is said that the amount of carbomer in skin care products is not very large, but it is indispensable. According to the degree of crosslinking and molecular weight, carbomer has a variety of products of different types, including carbomer 940, 941, 980, 934, 934 P, 954 and other traditional series. Different types of carbomers have different uses in various industries due to their suspension stability characteristics, fluidity change length and other properties.
