Beauty Tips For Body Care
Companies sometimes share the percentage retinol they use, but it's good to realize this is sometimes not the percentage of the pure retinol, but of a mixture.Phrases like "we use 1% coated retinol" , "a 1% retinol complex serum" or we use "0.5% slow release retinol" are indicications they are most likely referring to a mixture. Percentages like 2% or 3% also mean they are referring to a mixture. In general the percentage of retinol in coated forms is about 5-8%, so this means when a company uses 1%, the final percentage will be about 0.05-0.08%.Companies may list everything below 1% in random order, so they try to get that 1% line high up on the ingredient list. Try to spot that 1% line it can be helpful to determine wether the % is referring to a mixture or to the actual pure retinol. Of course this is can also really help for other active ingredients.Some ingredients that are commonly used at or below 1%: Phenoxyethanol, Parabens, Levulinic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glyceryl Caprylate, Tocopherol, Caprylyl Glycol, EDTA's, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Carbomer, Hyaluronic Acid, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Ubiquinone, Peptides, Retinoids, Ceramides, Fragrance, most plant extracts in powder form etc.And look for ingredients that are used in these standard mixtures, commonly used coated/mixture forms can for example be found here:https://www.ulprospector.com/en/na/PersonalCare/search?k=retinol&st=1First example, M. Asam Retinol 1% Intense:Claim: 1% retinol in encapsulated formIndications it's not 1%: Retinyl Palmitate is usually used below 0.3%. Polyurethane Crosspolymer-1 and Glycine Soja Oil are part of RetiCap PF, most likely this serum contains 0.08% Retinol.Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Glyceryl Oleate Citrate, Retinyl Palmitate, Retinol, Panthenol, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Tocopherol, Lauroyl Lysine, Dipentaerythrityl Pentaisononanoate, Carbomer, Polyglyceryl- 10 Laurate, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyurethane Crosspolymer- 1, Caprylyl Glycol, Bht, Disodium Edta, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid, PhenoxyethanolSecond example, Inkey List Retinol Serum:Claim: 1% stable retinol and 0.5% granactive retinoidIndications it's not 1%: Tocopherol, Carbomer in general are not used above 1%. Caprylyl Glycol in combination with other preservatives is in general not used above 1%, this means there's less than 1% Dimethyl Isosorbide (part of) Granactive Retinoid contains 10% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, so 0.05% in this formula. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (and) Sodium Ascorbate (and) Tocopherol (and) retinol is called RetiSTAR. This contains 5% Retinol, so at 1%, there's 0.05% retinol in this formula.Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Dimethicone, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Phospholipids, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Squalane, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Extract, Carbomer, Sodium Ascorbate, Tocopherol, Polysorbate 60, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycolipids, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium Edta, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Retinol, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterol, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, PhenoxyethanolThird example,Dr Brandt 2% Retinol serum:claim 2% Retinol ComplexWhy it's not 2%: Tocopherol and Phenoxyethanol are not used above 1%. Could be "Retinol C50 by Amcol" or "Iuvenesens® B-15". So most likely 0.3%. Think how about how the fancy packaging and marketing makes you think this is really worth $70, while you can get tretinoin or adapale for much less.Water, Glycerine, Dicaprylylcarbonaat, Isoamyl Lauraat, Cyclopentasiloxaan, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Boter, Shea Butter Cetyl Esters, Triheptanoin, Tocoferol, Phenoxyethanol, Behenyl Alcohol, Methylpropaandiol, Glycerylstearaatcitraat, Polysorbaat 20, Natriumacrylaten Copolymeer, Retinol, Glycerylstearaat , Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Xanthan Gum, Betaine, Polyglyceryl-3 Stearate, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Limonene, Chlorphenesin, Caprylyl Glycol, etc...Fourth example, Sunday Riley A+ High Dose 6.5% Retinoid :Claim: 5% retinoid ester, 1% liposomal-encapsulated retinol, 0.5% blue-green algeaProbably the 5% refers to Granactive Retinoid, you can't use 50% of this, so that means there's 0.5% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. Which seems correct since the 1% line is around Diheptyl Succinate. The Retinol is less than 1%, it's liposomal encapsulated, so this could be "Iuvenesens® B-15" as well, probably this means there's about 0.2% Retinol. So instead of the claimed 6.5% Retinoid, you are actually getting 0.7% actual retinoid and some unproven plant extract.Water/Eau/Agua, Propanediol, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Triheptanoin, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Hexyldecanol, Disiloxane, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Diheptyl Succinate, Propylene Carbonate, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, PPG-24-Glycereth-24, Phenyl Trimethicone, Retinol, Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Honey Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Algae Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Extract, Opuntia Ficus-indica Fruit Extract, Bisabolol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Phospholipids, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract, Lecithin, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, 1,2-Hexanediol, 4-t- Butylcyclohexanol, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Caprylyl Glycol, Helianthus Annuss (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sorbitol, Cetylhydroxyproline Palmitamide, Polysilicone-11, Benzoic Acid, Dehydroacetic Acid, Sodium Phytate, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Polysorbate, Hydroxyphenyl Propamidobenzoic Acid, Stearic Acid, Brassica Campestris Sterols, PVP, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Sodium Benzoate, Alcohol, Potassium Phosphate, Decyl Glucoside, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol, Potassium Sorbate, TocopherolFifth example: Indeed labs Retinol Reface:Claim 1% retinoid fluid, 1% retinol time release complex encapsulated, 3% retinol like peptidesLooking at the position of Dimethyl Isosorbide, there's most likely 1% Granactive Retinoid, so 0.1% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. Retinol is under the 1% line, I'm not completely sure which form is used but could be Retinol 10S, so this means 0.1% final concentration. Xanthan Gum in normal viscosity products is usually something like 0.2%. Peptides at 3%, this mixture contains 100ppm and 50ppm, so 0.0003% and 0.00015% respectively. So instead of think to get 5% pure actives, you are getting something like 0.2%.Water, Dimethicone, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Propanediol, Caprylyl Methicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Cetearyl Glucoside, Peg-100 Stearate, Butylene Glycol, 4-t-butylcyclohexanol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Acrylate/sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Xanthan Gum, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, Polysorbate 80, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Retinol, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Acacia Senegal Gum, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Tocopherol
