Reducing imperfections, toning the skin tone or lengthening the eyelashes are some of the benefits of the most common ingredients in makeup. However, there are products that work more than others, which is due to their composition.
With the boom that this industry has had, different types of makeup have emerged, from those that contain 100% natural ingredients to those that use chemical substances in their entirety. Likewise, production is currently more regulated, so the risks of suffering a skin condition are less and less.
And although there is a wide variety of cosmetics on the market, basically the most common ingredients in makeup are emulsifiers, preservatives, water, perfume, thickeners, moisturizers and pigments.
Common ingredients in makeup
Let’s see, then, which ingredients are the most common in most makeup. The order that we will follow is not linked to the proportion in which they are found.
Alcohol
Its main function is to make the product easily spread all over the skin. It also serves as an emulsifier, that is, it allows the other substances in the cosmetic to mix with each other.
Oils
This is one of the ingredients in makeup that adds softness and shine to the formula. The most common oils are lanolin and petrolatum. On the natural side we find olive, castor, coconut butter, macadamia oil and shea butter.
It should be noted that, in this regard, oils of natural, ecological or organic origin are those that are taking the most force in the cosmetic composition. For example, jojoba oil is a greasy ingredient that acts as a moisturizer and cell renewal.
