Common Name :Stearic acid

Chemical Name :Octadecanoic acid

Chemical Fomula :CH3(CH2)16CO2H
Molecular Weight: 284.48 g/mol
Description :
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain and has
the IUPAC name octadecanoic acid. It is a waxy solid, and its chemical
formula is CH3(CH2)16CO2H. Its name comes from the Greek word "star",
which means tallow. The salts and esters of stearic acid are called
stearates. Stearic acid is one of the most common saturated fatty acids
found in nature following palmitic acid.
Uses:
In general, applications of stearic acid exploit its bifunctional character,
with a polar head group that can be attached to metal cations and a
nonpolar chain that confers solubility in organic solvents. The combination
leads to uses as a surfactant and softening agent. Stearic acid undergoes the
typical reactions of saturated carboxylic acids, a notable one being reduction
to stearyl alcohol, and esterification with a range of alcohols. This is used in
a large range of manufactures, from simple to complex electronic devices .

Common Name :Dimethicone

Chemical Name :poly(dimethylsiloxane)
Chemical Fomula :(C2H6OSi)n
Molecular Weight:
Description :
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) belongs to a group of polymeric
organosilicon compounds that are commonly referred to as silicones. PDMS
is the most widely used silicon-based organicpolymer, and is particularly
known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties. PDMS is optically
clear, and, in general, inert, non-toxic, and non-flammable. It is also called
dimethicone and is one of several types of silicone oil
(polymerizedsiloxane). Its applications range from contact lenses and
medical devices to elastomers; it is also present in shampoos (as
dimethicone makes hair shiny and slippery), food (antifoaming agent),
caulking, lubricating oils, and heat-resistant tiles.
Uses:
One of the most widely used ingredients in cosmetics, dimethicone
works as an anti-foaming agent, skin protectant and skin & hair conditionerit prevents water loss by forming a hydrating barrier on the skin. Like most
silicones, this ingredient has a unique fluidity that makes it easily
spreadable. When applied to the skin, its known for creating a subtle gloss
that feels smooth and silky to touch. It also acts a mild water repellent by
forming a protective barrier on the skin, and can fill in fine lines/wrinkles on
the face, giving it a temporary plump look.

Common Name :Sodium Laureth Sulfate

Chemical Name :Sodium lauryl ether sulfate
Chemical Fomula :CH3(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na
Molecular Weight: around 420 g/mol(288.38 + 44.05n) g mol1
Description :
Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is
an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products
(soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.). SLES is an inexpensive and very
effective foaming agent. SLES, SLS, ALS and sodium pareth sulfate are
surfactants that are used in many cosmetic products for their cleansing and
emulsifying properties. They behave similarly to soap.
Uses:
Sodium laureth sulfate (sometimes referred to as SLES) is used in
cosmetics as a detergent and also to make products bubble and foam. It is
common in shampoos, shower gels and facial cleansers. It is also found in
household cleaning products, like dish soap.

Molecular Weight: 241.20 g/mol
Description :
White crystals or a white, crystalline,efflorescent powder which is
odourlessor has a faint, aromatic odour and an intensely sweet taste, even
in very dilute solutions.
Uses:
Non-nutritive sweetener

Common Name :Propylene Glycol

Chemical Name :Propane-1,2-diol
Chemical Fomula :C3H8O2
Molecular Weight: 76.09 g/mol
Description :
Propylene glycol, also called propane-1,2-diol, is an organic
compound with the chemical formula C3H8O2. It is a viscous colourless liquid
which is nearly odourless but possesses a faintly sweet taste. Chemically it is
classed as a diol and is miscible with a broad range of solvents, including
water, acetone, and chloroform.
