Ingredient Analysis

Based on the provided list and our database, here is information on some of the ingredients:

• Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer: This ingredient is often used as a thickener or gelling agent in cosmetic formulations. Our database includes a product called Aristoflex AVC, which is a semi-solid gel-forming agent that can create clear gel textures in water-based formulas and help stabilize oil phases. It functions as a cream binder (emulsifier) or a substance to create gel texture.
• Glycerin: This is a very common ingredient in cosmetics. Our database product Glycerin (USP/Food Grade) describes it as a humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin. It also acts as a solvent and emollient, helping to make products soft, smooth, and pleasant to use. It is highly soluble in water and can be used in almost all types of cosmetics.
• Menthol and Menthyl Lactate: These ingredients are known for providing a cooling sensation on the skin. Our database includes Menthol Water Soluble (20% Menthol, Liquid), which provides a cool sensation and menthol scent and is easily dissolved in water for clear formulas. Another relevant product is CoCool™ (Menthol+Menthyl Lactate), which also provides a cooling sensation and is soluble in oil, glycol, or ethyl alcohol.

Other ingredients in the list, such as various fruit extracts (Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon Fruit Extract, Acer Saccharum Extract), Pullulan, Xylitol, Allantoin, Ribose, Biosaccharide Gum-4, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance, Benzyl Salicylate, and Limonene, serve various functions like antioxidants, exfoliants (from fruit acids), humectants, skin conditioners, preservatives, thickeners, chelating agents, fragrance components, and solvents. While we may have some of these in our database, the initial search focused on the key functional ingredients for thickening, moisturizing, and cooling.
