Allyl Methacrylates Crosspolymer is a synthetic porous polymer derived from the suspension polymerization method, similar to that used to make latex paints. It forms spherical particles with a median size of about 40 μm.

Cellulose is the primary component of green plants. It is an organic polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate) derived from beta-glucose and is used in conjunction with a marine focus as a natural exfoliating agent.
Ceratonia Siliqua (Locust Bean) Gum is a highly purified fraction of branched galactomannan saccharide polymers with a mannose-to-galactose ratio of 4:1. It is derived from the seeds of the legume tree Ceratonia siliqua.
Guar gum is a plant polysaccharide obtained from the shrub's seeds, Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba, which, like the soybean, belongs to the Family Leguminoseae. It is a non-ionic, salt-tolerant galactomannan with excellent thickening properties.
Laneth-15 is ethoxylated lanolin alcohol with 15 moles of ethylene oxide, a nonionic surface active agent with a remarkable blend of branched-chain alcohols and sterols. Due to these natural skin-moisturizing lipids, this ingredient possesses significant emollience.
Maltodextrin is a generalized name for polysaccharides composed of short-to-medium long chains of glucose units (from 3 to 20 units, linked primarily by α-1–4 bonds) produced from starch.
Cellulose derivatives have the polymeric backbone of cellulose, with repeating anhydroglucose units. After alkaline treatment, cellulose is reacted with methyl chloride to yield methyl ether groups. The end product is purified and ground to a fine powder and is known as methylcellulose.
Microcrystalline cellulose is purified, isolated colloidal crystalline cellulose derived from fibrous plants. It is a white, free-flowing powder that is odorless and insoluble in water.
Oleth-3 is an ethoxylated oleyl alcohol with three moles of ethylene oxide. It is an off-white, hazy liquid with a mild, characteristic odor (virtually odorless).
Oleth-5 is an ethoxylated oleyl alcohol with five moles of ethylene oxide, an off-white, hazy liquid with a mild, characteristic odor (virtually odorless).
Pectin is a general term describing a group of heteropolysaccharides abundant in plant cell membranes. Pectins are polymers of galacturonic acid sub-units and are acid-stable gel formers obtained by extraction from apple or citrus peels.
PPG-5-Ceteth-20 is an alkoxy ether of cetyl alcohol, a heteropolymer of ethylene and propylene oxides. It is a water-soluble nonionic liquid surfactant.
Xanthan gum is a natural carbohydrate gum produced by a yeast-like micro-organism. It has soothing properties and is used as an emulsifier and thickener to help with the consistency and stability of creams.
