UV absorbers are ingredients that protect the hair from damage caused by UV radiation. Examples include benzophenone-4 and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate.
UV Absorbers
Preservatives are added to cosmetics and personal care products to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold and other microorganisms. This increases their shelf life.
Fragrances are substances used to impart pleasant scents or aromas to enhance the sensory experience of the products. They can evoke emotions, enhance product appeal, and create a specific atmosphere or mood.
Surfactants are chemical compounds that reduce the surface tension between substances, allowing them to mix and interact more effectively, and are often used in detergents, soaps, and personal care items.
Moisturizers improve the skin's moisture content by preventing water loss and promoting hydration. Ingredients that perform this function include humectants, emollients, and occlusives.
Humectants attract and retain moisture in the hair, making the hair more hydrated and less prone to breakage. They are particularly useful for dry or damaged hair. Examples of common humectants include Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, hyaluronic acid, and Sorbitol.
Humectants
Polymers are a key ingredient in most styling agents as they are often used as film-forming agents to help hold hair in place. Examples include polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyacrylates, and polyurethanes.
Polymers
Thickeners increase the viscosity and thickness of the product. Emulsifiers help mix and stabilize ingredients, such as oil and water. They enable the uniform dispersion of oil droplets in water or water droplets in oil, ensuring a stable and consistent product.

Silicones are synthetic ingredients that provide a smooth and shiny finish to the hair. They can also help to reduce frizz and tangles, making the hair easier to manage. Common silicones are cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, and phenyl trimethicone.
