Knowing how each ingredient is used in your cosmetics can be as daunting as swimming across the English Channel. Manufacturers use proprietary formulas to create unique products aimed at solving a multitude of problems, from anti-aging to pore refinement to skin tone evening. If your skin problem is not being solved, check the ingredients to see if you are getting the best bang for your buck.
Kaolin: Kaolin is a pure, natural mineral used to refine pores and help clear breakouts. It has soothing properties that are able to absorb fats from the skin while proving exceptional coverage.
Titanium Dioxide: Titanium Dioxide is a blend of natural mineral powders that helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles. If you are looking for a cosmetic that also provides for a natural and even skin tone, look for a product that contains Titanium Dioxide.
Glycerin: Glycerin is a moisturizer that works by attracting water to the intercellular space in the skin. Glycerin has effective lubricant properties.
Sodium Lauroyl Menthyl Isethionate (SLMI): SLMI is a surfactant that creates a dense foam. It's used as a mild cleansing agent.
Ensure maximum delivery of key ingredients. Healthy skin is very good at keeping things out, both the bad and the good. When it comes to achieving the best results from high-powered skincare ingredients, it’s all about getting the good stuff to where it needs to be.
