Helppp! I only know the INCI names
Can anyone tell me what the real names of these would be for ordering purposes? I can’t get on my laptop to get on my spread sheet
Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, disteardimonium hectorite, trimethylsiloxisilicate, dimethicone, jojoba oil, propylene carbonate, polysilicone-11, tocopherol -

What do you mean by real names?. INCI names are the real names and the only nomenclature accepted in cosmetics.

Looks like you have a Bentone Gel in there but I can’t tell which one.
Bentone Gel ISD-V has Isododecane, Disteardimonium Hectorite, and Propylene Carbonate while there are a few other bentone gels with cyclopentasiloxane instead of isododecane.Same with Polysilicone-11. Grant Industries has Polysilicone-11 partnered up with cyclopentasiloxane (Gransil GCM-5 and RPS-D6), dimethicone (gransil DM-10 and DM-5), and isododecane (Gransil PCM-10).
It may be hard to narrow down the Dimethicone as well because dimethicone has a lot of varied thicknesses/skinfeels. It could be a slippery dimethicone (which I think is likely given the other ingredients) or a sticky one if this dimethicone is by itself instead of bundled in with other ingredients.
I’m afraid you’re gonna have to sort all this out yourself somehow, do some research on UL Prospector to see which one of everything fits your needs. There are a lot of options and the only things to do are think through it and make some test batches.

@DAS is correct. INCI names are the “real” names.
What you are looking for are Trade Names. It’s a little more complicated.
For example, there are 41 suppliers of Dimethicone listed in the INCI Dictionary. Nearly every one of those suppliers has a different trade name for their particular blend referred to as Dimethicone.
