Similar to other silicones, it gives skin and hair a silky, smooth feel. It's often combined with the non-volatile (i.e. stays on the skin) dimethicone as the two together form a water-resistant, breathable protective barrier on the skin without a negative tacky feel. Probably the most common silicone of all. It is a polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule and has different molecular weight and thus different viscosity versions from water-light to thick liquid. As for skincare, it makes the skin silky smooth, creates a subtle gloss and forms a protective barrier (aka occlusive). Also, works well to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a plump look (of course that is only temporary, but still, it's nice). There are also scar treatment gels out there using dimethicone as their base ingredient. It helps to soften scars and increase their elasticity. Expand to read more As for hair care, it is a non-volatile silicone meaning that it stays on the hair rather than evaporates from it and smoothes the hair like no other thing. Depending on your hair type, it can be a bit difficult to wash out and might cause some build-up (btw, this is not true to all silicones, only the non-volatile types). An often used emollient with a light and silky feel. It's very mild to both skin and eyes and spreads nicely and easily. It's often used in sunscreens as it's also an excellent solvent for sunscreen agents. You probably know olive oil from the kitchen as a great and healthy option for salad dressing but it's also a great and healthy option to moisturize and nourish the skin, especially if it's on the dry side. Similar to other emollient plant oils, it's loaded with nourishing fatty acids: oleic is the main component (55-83%), and also contains linoleic (3.5-20%) and palmitic acids (7-20%). It also contains antioxidant polyphenols, tocopherols (types of vitamin E) and carotenoids and it's one of the best plant sources of skin-identical emollient, Squalene. Overall, a great option for dry skin but less so for acne-prone or damaged skin. Primary fat-soluble antioxidant in our skin Significant photoprotection against UVB rays Vit C + Vit E work in synergy and provide great photoprotection Has emollient properties Easy to formulate, stable and relatively inexpensive Retinol (pure Vitamin A) is probably the most proven anti-aging ingredient available OTC It has to be converted in the skin to retinoic acid to work its magic Once converted, it has the same effect as all-trans-retinoic acid, aka tretinoin A generally accepted ballpark number is that retinol is 10-to-20 times less potent than retinoic acid It makes skin less wrinkled, smoother, firmer and tighter It might also be helpful for acne prone skin as it normalizes keratinization and makes the pores produce less sebum Possible side effects what‑it‑does emollient | solvent irritancy, com. emollient | antimicrobial/antibacterial antioxidant | emollient antioxidant | skin brightening antioxidant | skin brightening | soothing antioxidant | soothing soothing | antioxidant emollient | perfuming antioxidant | antimicrobial/antibacterial soothing | emollient solvent | viscosity controlling
