Comedogenic rating [ 2 ]

Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol. It’s responsible for making your skin soft and improving product thickness. It makes the product easier to apply and feel richer. Though it contains the word “Alcohol” in its title, the component doesn’t belong to harmful alcohols. That’s why a product with this component can still be marked as Alcohol-free. Usually, manufacturers receive this component from coconut or palm oil.

Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate

Roles: Cleansing, Foaming, Surfactant

Cleansing

Carbomer

Roles: Emulsion stabilizer, Gel forming, Viscosity controlling

Moisturizing

Carbomer is used for formulation purposes. It helps to control the viscosity and flow of a product. It’s considered safe but only if it’s well purified. Poorly purified carbomers may contain benzol which may lead to irritation.

Methyl Hydroxybenzoate

Propyl Hydroxybenzoate

Sodium Hydroxide

Roles: Buffering

Sodium Hydroxide is used mostly for formulation purposes. It helps to hold the pH level of a product. It also works as a chemical exfoliator that removes dead cells. Usually concentration of this component is low in skin care products and it’s used mostly for adjusting pH.
