A
  • Mascaras with petroleum distillates, to which pigments and waxes are added to make them water resistant
  • Performs well with perspiration but removal requires an oil-based lotion or cream.

  • Problem: eye irritant and product dries up quickly

Q

What are hybrid mascaras?

A
  • Either an oil- in water or water in oil emulsion.

  • Banned in Canada
48
Q

A

Substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity, e.g nail polish

50
Q

What other forms of preservatives are available other than the addition of chemical ingredients?

A

1) Packaging: oxygen-free dispenser. Absence of oxygen extends the duration of oxygen sensitive ingredients and inhibits an ideal environment for microorganisms’ growth

2) Elastin - Helps skin regain original configuration after stretching or deformation (Less water binding capacity than collagen)
3) Hyaluronic acid - Used as a filler for injection (NASHA, very costly)
4) Keratin - deposit a thin film on hair and nails (allow longer curl retention); increase nail hardness
5) Placenta - mixture of proteins and enzymes that enhance blood circulation and accelerate cellular metabolism
6) Amniotic fluid - moisturizer and epidermal growth enhancer

8) Blood derivatives - Stimulates oxygen absorption, ‘revitalizing’ creams; after-shaving products to increase epidermal cell renew rate

59
Q

Why are herbal additives more popular than biological additives?

A
  • Less problematic although many herbals are contaminated with herbicides and heavy metals.

Because beta-carotene, niacinamide, vitamin C and vitamin E act as antioxidants (concerns on exceeding optimal amounts)

62
