EWG Rating [ 1 ]
CIR Rating [ A ]

Dimethicone is the most popular silicone. It makes the skin softer and forms a film adding smooth and silky feeling. This film not only improves how the skin feels but also works as a protective barrier. It also improves the visual appearance of your skin by filling small wrinkles. What you should really know is that this component is difficult to wash off! So make sure you did proper cleansing after using it.

Position 5

#5Triethanolamine

Origin: chemical
Role: Buffering agent, Emulsifying agent, Fragrance ingredient, Masking, Surfactant
Comedogenic rating [ 2 ]
EWG Rating [ 5 ]
CIR Rating [ B ]

Triethanolamine is a pH adjuster. It is a toxic component that can be absorbed by the skin and detected in blood later. It can be a dermal irritant. Though it's considered safe, you should think before using it in skincare. There are many products on the market without Triethanolamine.
