It can also improve the skin's barrier function, helping to retain moisture and maintain skin hydration.

4. Kaolin: Kaolin, a type of clay, is a versatile cosmetic ingredient known for its absorbent properties.

Kaolin also helps to soothe and calm irritated skin, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. In makeup products like foundations and powders, Kaolin contributes to a matte finish by controlling excess shine and minimizing the appearance of pores.

5. Dimethicone: Dimethicone is a silicone-based polymer widely used in cosmetics for its smoothing and conditioning properties. When applied to the skin, it creates a breathable and protective barrier that locks in moisture and prevents water loss, leaving the skin hydrated and soft. Dimethicone also helps to improve the spreadability of makeup products, giving them a smooth and velvety texture. Its non-comedogenic nature makes it suitable for acne-prone skin, as it does not clog pores or cause breakouts.

6. Dicaprylyl Carbonate: Dicaprylyl Carbonate is a lightweight emollient derived from coconut oil, known for its non-greasy and fast-absorbing nature. In cosmetics, it helps to provide a smooth and silky texture, making products easy to apply and providing a comfortable feel on the skin. Dicaprylyl Carbonate also contributes to the long-lasting performance of makeup products, enhancing their wear time and helping them stay in place throughout the day.

7. Mica: Mica is a naturally occurring mineral known for its light-reflecting properties. In cosmetics, it is used to add a subtle shimmer and luminosity to products like highlighters and eyeshadows.
