Analysis of Cosmetic Ingredients: Function and Properties

Asked by: kookkaiiip On: November 05, 2023 Product Type: Cosmetics

Question

Could you please provide information about the functions and properties of the ingredients listed for this cosmetic product, and indicate which ones are available?

Answer

Based on the ingredients you provided, which appear to be from a cosmetic product, here is some information about several of the key components:

  • Behentrimonium Chloride: This is a conditioning agent commonly used in hair care products like conditioners and masks. It helps to smooth hair and can also act as a skin conditioning agent in skin care formulas. We have Behentrimonium Chloride (BTAC) available.
  • Tocopherol: This is a form of Vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant. It helps protect the formula from deterioration due to oxidation and can also offer antioxidant benefits to the skin, helping to protect against free radicals. We have different types available, including Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) (both oil-soluble and water-soluble) and Vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol).
  • Phenoxyethanol: This is a widely used preservative in cosmetics. It is effective against bacteria but may need to be combined with other preservatives for broad-spectrum protection against fungi. We have Phenoxyethanol (Extra Pure) and Phenoxyethanol P5 available.
  • Geraniol: This is typically used as a fragrance ingredient, often contributing a rose-like scent. We have Geraniol (98%) (FEMA-2507) available.
  • sh-Oligopeptide-78: We could not find a direct match for sh-Oligopeptide-78 in our database. Peptides are often used in cosmetics for various skin benefits, but specific peptide types and their functions can vary.

These ingredients collectively suggest a product designed for conditioning (likely hair, given the Behentrimonium Chloride) with antioxidant and preservative properties, and added fragrance.
