Phenoxyethanol
Phenoxyethanol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C8H10O2. It can be synthesized by etherification of ethylene glycol and phenol. Phenoxyethanol is a colorless slightly viscous liquid with an aromatic odor, slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and sodium hydroxide.
In addition, phenoxyethanol has antimicrobial properties (usually used with quaternary ammonium salts) and is often used as a highly toxic substitute for sodium azide in biological buffer solutions because phenoxyethanol is less toxic and chemically inactive to copper and lead. It often plays the role of a preservative in cosmetics, skin care products, vaccines and medicines.
Cetyl alcohol
Cetyl alcohol, also known as cetearyl alcohol, is a fatty alcohol. It has an opaque, white, solid waxy texture, so it is often used as a emollient, emulsifier, and thickener in cosmetics. It provides a good texture and feel to the product and improves the ductility of the product. At the same time, cetyl alcohol also has a certain moisturizing effect, which can help lock in **moisture and keep **soft and smooth.
It is important to note that although cetyl alcohol is widely used, it may have allergic reactions in some individuals. Before using products containing cetyl alcohol, it is recommended to conduct a ** test to ensure that there is no discomfort before using it normally.
Carbomer
Carbomer is a commonly used cosmetic ingredient, also known as polyacrylic resin. It has excellent performance and is widely used in the manufacture of skin care products, color cosmetics, etc. Carbomer has a variety of functions such as thickening, suspension, emulsification, stabilization, etc., which can improve the texture and use of the product.
Please note that although carbomer is widely used in cosmetics, people with different skin types may react differently to products containing carbomer. Before use, it is recommended to conduct ** testing to ensure the suitability of the product.
Methylparaben
Methylparaben, also known as methylparaben or methylparaben, is an organic substance. Its properties are white crystalline powder or colorless crystals, soluble in alcohol, ether and acetone, but very slightly soluble in water. In addition, the boiling point of methylparaben is 270-280.
Methylparaben is mainly used as a bactericidal preservative in organic synthesis, food, cosmetics and medicine, and can also be used as a feed preservative. Its mechanism of action is to destroy the cell membrane of microorganisms, denature the proteins in the cell, and inhibit the activity of the respiratory enzyme system and electron transfer enzyme system of microbial cells.
Flavors
Fragrances in cosmetics are usually a mixture of ingredients that are used to provide fragrance, increase product appeal, and mask odors that may be present in the product. There are many types of fragrances that may be included in cosmetics, such as floral, fruity, woody, amber, etc. Although cosmetic fragrance may cause allergies to a small number of people, it also brings pleasure and satisfaction to people in many moments of life.
