Key data
The CosIng inventory records no CAS number for this ingredient. That is the absence of an identifier in the source, not a finding about the substance.
- BINDING
- Providing adhesive properties during and after compression in cosmetic tablets and/or cakes.
- BULKING
- Non-reactive (chemically inert), solid ingredients that dilute other solids and/or increase the volume of cosmetic products.
- SOLVENT
- Dissolving other components of cosmetics. Solvents are usually liquids (aqueous and nonaqueous).
- DISPERSING NON-SURFACTANT
- Facilitating the dispersion of solids in liquids. They function primarily by coating the solid through the process of adsorption, thus changing the surface characteristic of the suspended solid.
