Leksikon

Leksikon over indholdsstoffer anvendt i Purely Professionals produkter

Liste over indholdsstoffer

Som forbruger hører man meget om indholdsstoffer i kosmetiske produkter. Både om de stoffer der er rigtig gode til det ene og det andet, og som vi derfor gerne vil have i vores produkter. Og om alle de problematiske indholdsstoffer, som vi gerne vil undgå.

Men det kan være svært at finde ud af, hvad der er i vores kosmetiske produkter, selvom indholdsstofferne altid skal være anført på emballagen. Det er nemlig de færreste af os, der ved hvad ordene i indholdsfortegnelsen egentligt dækker over.

Alle indholdsstoffer skal angives ud fra en internationalt vedtaget navngivning, der kaldes "INCI". INCI er hverken traditionel kemisk navngivning, engelsk eller latin, og derfor kan det både for kemikere og almindelige forbrugere være svært at gennemskue stoffernes egenskaber.

Vi får rigtig mange spørgsmål til indholdsstoffer og INCI angivelser, fra både kunder og forhandlere. Vi har derfor lavet et leksikon over de ingredienser, der bliver brugt i Purely Professionals produkter.

Leksikonet er bygget op sådan, at der ud fra hver indholdsstof er en kort beskrivelse af dets egenskaber (på engelsk), og derudover link til yderligere information og vurdering af indholdsstoffet i databasen ”skin deep” og EU's database over kosmetiske ingredienser.

Du kan også finde information om indholdsstofferne i de enkelte produktbeskrivelser på produktsiderne. Der har vi fokuseret på at forklare, hvilke egenskaber ingredienserne har i det givne produkt.

BEHENTRIMONIUM METHOSULFATE (AND) C10-40 ISO-ALKYLAMIDO-PROPYLETHYLDIMONIUM ETHOSULFATE (AND) CETYL ALCOHOL Properties Behentrimonium methosulfate (and) c10-40 isoalkylamidopropylethyldimonium ethosulfate (and) cetyl alcohol is a fatty quaternised derivative of 18-Methyl Eicosanoic Acid (18-MEA), the primary lipid of the hair surface. Human hair contains a thin, protective layer of lipids covalently bound to the cuticle and comprised primarily of 18-MEA. Chemical treatment or environmental stress (ie UV) can remove part or all of this fatty layer, making hair unmanageable, less healthy-looking, and more susceptible to further damage.Behentrimonium methosulfate (and) c10-40 isoalkylamidopropylethyldimonium ethosulfate (and) cetyl alcohol was developed as a means of replenishing this important lipid. Particularly suited to chemically treated hair, long hair and ethnic hair care products. Leave-on and rinse-off conditioners and treatments, styling products.

BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA BUTTER) Properties Acts as a skin conditioning agent and viscosity (thickness) increasing agent. Its function as a dermal conditioner is twofold. Firstly, it helps retain moisture and lessen the loss of water by forming a barrier on the skin's surface. Secondly, it also works to reduce the appearance of rough patches and dry flakes on the skin. In addition, the moisturizers in shea butter are the same as those produced by the sebaceous glands of the skin. In fact, because its structure and function resembles that of the lipid content of skin, shea butter is considered to be a Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF).

UREA Properties Urea, sometimes referred to as carbamide, is produced in mammalian systems when proteins are broken down. It is excreted in the urine of mammals. The Urea found in cosmetics and personal care products is synthetic and not animal derived. In cosmetics and personal care products, Urea can be found in many product types including skin care, coloring and noncoloring hair care products, and eye makeup.Urea minimizes the change in the acid/base balance of a product when other ingredients are added to that product. It also slows the loss of moisture from a product during use. When used in the formulation of skin care products, Urea increases the water content of the top layers of the skin.
