Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount. Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate is derived from cetearyl alcohol and sorbic acid. It is an emollient and helps hydrate the skin. Emollients form a barrier on the skin to prevent water from escaping. Ethylhexyl Palmitate, also known as octyl palmitate, is created from 2-ethylhexyl alcohol and palmitic acid. In cosmetics, it plays many roles: One thing worth noting: a controlled study found this ingredient applied under occlusion to acne-prone subjects increased microcomedones. Just keep in mind this was under occlusive conditions and don't reflect how most products are used day-to-day. For most people, this is a well-tolerated and lightweight ingredient. This ingredient may not be fungal acne safe because it is an ester of palmitic acid, a C16 fatty acid that falls within the C11-24 range that Malassezia can metabolize. This synthetic, signal peptide has unique skin conditioning properties in that is a matrikine-mimetic compound. First of all, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 is a signal peptide; signal peptides tell the body to create more collagen. What is a matrikine-mimetic compound? This peptide has the ability to mimic matrikines in skin. Our skin created matrikines by breaking down matrix proteins into peptides. Matrikines play a role in: Though further research is needed, this ingredient seems pretty promising. In one study, women over the age of 40 with visible photoaging used a vitamin C serum with this ingredient for 56 days (15% ascorbid acid, 5 ppm palmitoyl tripeptide‐38). The results found improvement in skin roughness and skin tone. This peptide is also part of the famous Matrixyl synthe’6, a blend of ingredients that also includes glycerin, water, and hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin. We don't have a description for Portulaca Pilosa Extract yet. Sorbitan Isostearate is an emulsifer. It is created from isostearic acid and sorbitol. As an emulsifier, it keeps the water and oil ingredients from separating. This keeps formulas stable and smooth. In a 24 hour occlusive patch test on 56 subjects, 10% sorbitan isostearate was completely non-irritating. Most formulas use less than 10%. Because it's a fatty acid ester, it may not be fungal acne safe since the Malassezia yeast can utilize it as a nutrient source. Sucrose cocoate is a mild multitasking ingredient made by esterifying sugar with the fatty acids of coconut oil. It functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, and skin-conditioning ingredient all in one. Typical use concentrations range from: This ingredient is well-tolerated across skin types and has been classified safe for use in cosmetic products by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. It's even considered gentle enough for use in baby care products like shampoos and lotions. Fungal acne note: Sucrose cocoate is a fatty acid ester derived from coconut oil that contains fatty acids in the C12-18 range. This is the ran
