Ingredients Details
Dimethicone
Common Name(s): Pdms,polydimethylsiloxane,silicone fluid
CAS Number: 9006-65-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides silicone-characteristic silky feel and skin protection with adjustable viscosity.
Why It's Used: The benchmark cosmetic silicone โ sets the gold standard for silky application feel, spreadability, and skin protection in virtually all skin care categories.
How It Works: Polydimethylsiloxane chain flexibility provides extremely low surface tension and high spreadability. inert si-o backbone provides chemical stability and excellent skin tolerance. occlusive film formation reduces tewl. higher viscosity grades provide more intense conditioning.
Typically Found In: Moisturizers,foundations,primers,sunscreens โ nearly universal
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ polydimethylsiloxane
Secondary Functions: Barrier sealing,softening
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ30%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Plant-derived, synthetic or animal-derived. verify source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 1/5 โ low; formulation-dependent
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Dimethicone's exceptional silky feel arises from its very low intermolecular attractive forces (weak van der waals forces due to non-polar methyl groups) that allow silicone chains to slide freely over skin. the coefficient of kinetic friction for pdms against skin (~0.04) is among the lowest of any cosmetic material โ explaining why even small amounts transform product feel.

Octinoxate
Common Name(s): Octyl methoxycinnamate,omc,parsol mcx
CAS Number: 5466-77-3
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides the most widely used uvb chemical filtration with light, elegant aesthetics.
Why It's Used: The global uvb standard โ octyl methoxycinnamate's combination of potent uvb absorption, light texture, and global approval makes it the most-used chemical uvb filter worldwide.
How It Works: Trans-cinnamate chromophore absorbs uvb at ฮปmax 308nm (ฮตmax ~24,000 l/molยทcm). undergoes trans-cis photoisomerisation reducing uv protection over time โ requires photostabilisation with avobenzone or octocrylene. oil-soluble for elegant formulation.
Typically Found In: Sunscreens,foundation with spf,tinted moisturisers
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ chemical uvb filter
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: Up to 10% (eu), 7.5% (us fda)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Commercially produced for cosmetic use. verify vegan/halal status with supplier.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Eu max 10%. aquatic toxicity/coral reef concerns; hawaii and some us states restrict omc. requires photostabilisation for durable spf. ewg score: 5.
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Omc's trans-cis photoisomerisation (absorbing uv โ converting trans to less-absorbing cis form) was identified as the mechanism for sunscreen product spf decay after uv exposure. this photodegradation led to development of octocrylene and avobenzone photostabilisation strategies โ a pharmacokinetic discovery that fundamentally changed sunscreen formulation science.
