It is a polymer (created from repeating subunits) molecule and has different molecular weight and thus different viscosity versions from water-light to thick liquid. As for skincare, it can make the skin feel nice and smooth in moisturizers (emollient) or it can act as a foam building cleansing agent in cleansers. Compared to the pure form it's more stable, has longer shelf life, but it's also more poorly absorbed by the skin. Your skin feels balanced and hydrated — not tight and not oily, and you display very few skin concerns.

It works over a very wide pH range (3-12) and can be used to thicken up low-ph formulas, such as exfoliants. Fatty alcohols have a long oil-soluble (and thus emollient) tail part that makes them absolutely non-drying and non-irritating and are totally ok for the skin. It thickens up water-free formulas, increases hardness and raises the melting point of emulsions and water-less balms. Well, it used to be referred to as microbeads, as it was banned in 2015 in the " Microbead-Free Waters Act" due to the small plastic spheres accumulating in the waters and looking like food to fish. It’s one of the “EU 26 fragrances” that has to be labelled separately (and cannot be simply included in the term “fragrance/perfume” on the label) because of allergen potential.

The main concern with nanoparticles is that they are so tiny that they are absorbed into the skin more than we want them (ideally sunscreen should remain on the surface of the skin).

In the US, it is flat out prohibited as avobenzone becomes unstable when combined with mineral sunscreens.An often used glycol that works as a solvent, humectant, penetration enhancer and also gives a good slip to the products. In cosmetics, it’s often in products that are supposed to keep your skin matte as it has great oil-absorbing abilities. Once absorbed they might form unwanted complexes with proteins and they might promote the formation of evil free radicals.
