Cyclopentasiloxane: Lightweight silicone with a silky, slippery feel that functions as a skin/hair conditioning agent.
Talc: An earth mineral used as a texturizer in cosmetics and also to help make them opaque.
Isododecane: A hydrocarbon ingredient most often used as an emollient. Thanks to its low viscosity and density, it has a high spreadability. Isododecane leaves a weightless feeling on the skin and evaporates easily.
Cyclohexasiloxane: A silicone. Primarily works as a skin conditioning agent and emollient. Like all other silicones, this ingredient has a unique fluidity that makes it easily spreadable. When applied to the skin, it gives a silky & slippery feeling to the touch and acts a mild water repellent by forming a protective barrier on the skin. It can also fill in fine lines/wrinkles, giving the face a temporary “plump” look.
Disteardimonium Hectorite: A vegetable-derived suspending agent used to thicken oil-based products and serve as a stabilizer for emulsions
VP/Hexadecene Copolymer: Synthetic polymer that functions as a binding agent, texture enhancer, and dispersing agent.
Polyisobutene: Polymer of the hydrocarbon isobutylene obtained from petroleum oil. It functions as a thickening and film-forming agent and does not penetrate skin due to its large molecular size.
Trihydroxystearin: Mixture of glycerin and fatty acids that is used as an emollient and thickening agent.
Bismuth Oxychloride: A synthetically prepared white, crystalline powder. A derivative of the metal Bismuth. Functions as a colorant, adding a white pigment to cosmetic products. It's frequently contained in makeup because it provides good slip, a silky feel and an excellent dermal adhesion that enables makeup to stay on the skin for long periods of time. It's especially popular with mineral powder makeup because can give either a white shimmer or pearlescent matte finish to the face. This glow serves several aesthetic purposes because, by reflecting light away from the skin, it helps camouflage wrinkles and age spots. This ingredient also functions as a bulking agent for liquid formulations.
Silica Dimethyl Silylate: A silica derivative used as an anti caking agent, bulking agent, slip modifier, viscosity increasing agent, emollient, and most often as a suspending agent. It is often found in cosmetics because of its ability to thicken while moisturizing, and provide long-lasting wear.
Trimethylsiloxysilicate: A silicone. It is a skin conditioning agent, and it is considered a soft skin adhesive. It can be used as an anti-foaming agent.
Propylene Carbonate: Liquid used as a solvent and film-forming agent.
Sorbitan Sesquioleate: An emollient. It is added to formulas as a skin soother and moisturizer and is derived from sorbitol, a humectant.
Beeswax: Natural substance made by bees to build the walls of their honeycomb. It is a thickening agent that has some emollient properties
PEG-40 Stearate: Functions as a cleansing agent, but also helps keep ingredients solubilized.
Caprylyl Glycol: Skin and hair conditioning agent that may be plant-derived or synthetic. Often used as part of a preservative blend in cosmetics.
Dimethicone: A type of silicone, forms a permeable barrier that works to prevent moisture loss and impart a wonderfully silky feel.
Ethylhexylglycerin: A synthetic skin-softening agent also used as a preservative, a carrier, or suspending agent for other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol.
1,2-Hexanediol: A widely used humectant and coupling agent. It is especially useful when bonding silicone products and can be used at lower concentrations than many other coupling agents, therefore reducing its irritation likeliness.
Methicone: A silicone based polymer that is used as a skin conditioning agent and surface modifier. It is primarily used to create a film or barrier for makeup to stick to. This barrier prevents sweat and oils from coming through underneath which would normally cause makeup to wear off. Methicone and all silicone polymers, have a large molecular weight; it is unlikely to be absorbed into the skin, helping it to serve as this barrier between the skin and other products, and also preventing it from penetrating the skin itself.
Tocopheryl Acetate: Its substantiated benefits include enhancing the efficacy of active sunscreen ingredients, reducing the formation of free radicals from exposure to UV rays, promoting the healing process, strengthening the skin's barrier function, protecting the skin barrier's lipid balance, and reducing transepidermal water loss. Attributed with antioxidant, anti-aging, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and enhanced SPF properties, tocopherol acetate is valued both as a dietary supplement and skincare active.
Mica: Earth mineral included in products to give them sparkle and shine. The level and look of the shine mica provides depends on the color and how finely it’s milled. Mica's sheer, translucent and skin-hugging properties make it a popular ingredient in mineral powders. Mica powder reflects light from the face because of its glittering or shimmering properties, and can create the illusion of a smoother, softer and more radiant skin tone.
Titanium Dioxide: An earth mineral used in sunscreens that is capable of blocking both UVA and UVB rays; also used as a pigment.
Iron Oxides: Natural oxides of iron (iron combined with oxygen); pigments are used to enhance colors in cosmetics.
My Thoughts:
I adore Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Primer. I was lucky enough to receive a same size in one of my ipsy bags. It came in a baby pink squeeze tub with black lettering. It has pointed tip that dispenses the product perfectly and a secure cap that makes it travel friendly. The product itself is a pearl pink but once applied it becomes transparent, its great for any skintone. Thank Me Later Eye Primer has a mousse texture, that becomes silky once applied. A little goes a long way, I only use a small dot for each eyelid. Its incredibly lightweight so it absorb pretty quickly.
Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Primer is beyond amazing. It locks in my eyeshadow and concealer. It even helps reduce creasing throughout the day. I see a change in my eyeshadow, its more vivd and intense in pigment. The only drawback would be that this eyeshadow primer did not even-out my skintone like it claims it does.
Would I purchase Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later Eye Primer? Yes,I love it! I believe its worth the splurge.
