    This document defines 20 key terms used in cosmetic chemistry, including phthalates, hypoallergenic, comedogenic, and occlusives. Phthalates are used to soften and increase flexibility of plastic and vinyl. Hypoallergenic means non-allergy producing and refers to formulations designed to minimize allergic reactions. Comedogenic refers to ingredients tending to clog pores and cause blackheads. Occlusives produce an oily layer on skin to enrich its natural lipid film and prevent water evaporation.
