The most widely used silicone. It improves skin condition a lot. It makes the skin smooth and pleasant to touch, gives it a healthy gloss and forms a protective barrier. It temporarily fills small fine lines and wrinkles hiding them and making your skin look better. In hair care products it's used as hair conditioning component. It smoothes the hair and gives them a very pleasant silky gloss. It protects the hair from aggressive surfactants like SLS.

Polysorbate 80

#1 solvent in many skincare and haircare products. Usually, creams contain 40 - 70% of water, while toners and micellar water may have up to 90%. Manufacturers purify and deionize it before putting it into the product to make the formula last longer. As for the benefits, it is neither good nor bad. It's a neutral component itself, but it's a very important part of a product.

It's a very popular solvent and viscosity controller. It also helps the components to absorb deeper into the skin and it is a humectant. It's considered to be safe and it is even used in food!

Diamond Powder

Makes the product smell nice. It may be unsafe for skin because "fragrance" is a generic term. It may include a mixture of many different chemicals, sometimes not good for your skin. That's why it's one of the most popular causes of contact allergy.

Very popular preservative. It has been used in cosmetics for a long time and it's very well researched. Considered to be safe for skin.
