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. Works best between a concentration of 5-20% Boosts the skin’s own collagen production Fades pigmentation and brown spots If used under sunscreen it boosts its UV protection Extremely unstable and oxidizes very easily in presence of light or air Stable in solutions with water only if pH is less than 3.5 or in waterless formulations Vit E + C work in synergy and provide superb photoprotection Ferulic acid doubles the photoprotection effect of Vit C+E and helps to stabilize Vit C Potent Vit. C serums might cause a slight tingling on sensitive skin A heavy-duty emollient ester that comes in the form of a pale yellow semi-solid paste. It mainly stays on the surface of the skin and gives skin protection and occlusivity. A type of silicone elastomer (rubber-like material with both viscosity and elasticity) whose major function is forming a nice film on the skin. It is also cosmetically very elegant with a non-tacky, non-oily and smooth skin feel. It also works as a stable delivery system of active materials, has sebum absorption and control properties and upon application, it transforms into a matte appearance with a powdery after feel. 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 Isosorbide Dicaprylate (IDC) is a smart, oil-loving skin hydrator and barrier builder molecule. It works synergistically with glycerin as it up-regulates Aquaporin 3 (AQP3), an important transmembrane protein that transports our beloved friend glycerin, along with its’ hydrating groupie water molecules that surround it, into the cell. To put it more simply - AQP3 makes sure that glycerin and water are well distributed in the outer layer of the skin and thus the skin is well-hydrated. IDC is also claimed to upregulate the expression of CD44 (a hyaluronic acid binding receptor), ceramide synthase (an enzyme required for ceramide synthesis), and decrease transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Expand to read more The clinical study done by the manufacturer showed that a direct comparison between 2% IDC versus 2% glycerin lotions revealed a three-fold advantage of IDC in giving skin hydration. Severely dry skin treated with 2% IDC + 2% glycerin showed 133% improvement, whereas 35% improvement was observed with moderately dry skin. A spherical texturizing powder that's used as a texture enhancer and soft focus agent.
