Here is a summary of the ingredients you provided and their typical functions in cosmetic formulations, based on our database information:
- Argan Oil: Known for nourishing and restoring dry skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, helping with acne, stimulating cell renewal, and maintaining healthy skin and hair. It's a highly moisturizing oil.
- Behentrimonium Chloride: A conditioning agent primarily used in hair care to smooth hair and provide a soft feel. It can also act as a skin conditioning agent.
- Glycerin: A common humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin. It also acts as a solvent and emollient, helping products feel smooth.
- Linseed extract (Derived from Flaxseed): Flaxseed oil, derived from flaxseed, is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids and is used in skin creams for its soothing and skin-healthy properties.
- Panthenol: Also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, it's a humectant and moisturizer that helps retain moisture, strengthens the skin barrier, softens skin, increases elasticity, reduces inflammation and redness, aids wound healing, and nourishes hair for health and shine.
- Disodium EDTA: Used as a chelating agent to bind to metal ions in water, which helps stabilize the formula and prevent them from interfering with other ingredients, thus extending product shelf life.
- Glyceryl Stearate: Functions as a thickener and emulsifier, helping to create creamy textures and blend oil and water phases in a formulation. Different forms exist, including self-emulsifying types.
- Shea Butter: A natural fat widely used for its moisturizing properties. It helps soothe skin, reduce wrinkles, improve elasticity, and contains beneficial fatty acids and cinnamic acid for UV protection. Various forms are available for different formulation needs.
