Ingredients explained
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier for creams; oily feel, suitable for dry skin, control usage for oily skin
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate
- Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Propylene Glycol Dibenzoate
- Organic solvent and emollient. Low volatility, potential allergen. Caution for sensitive skin; compatible with other esters.
- Triethylhexanoin
- Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Diglyceryl Sebacate/Isopalmitate
- Diglyceride blend for emollience and skin conditioning; improves feel and reduces greasiness.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Dicalcium Phosphate
- Abrasive/bulking agent for teeth; particle size affects cleaning power
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax
- Carnauba wax for hardness/occlusion/film; plant-derived, confirm extraction purity
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- VP/Hexadecene Copolymer
- Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient with cleansing function; suitable for baby and sensitive skin, low irritancy.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Mangifera Indica Seed Butter
- Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.
- Diamond Powder
- Diamond powder as abrasive; high hardness, check particle uniformity
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Cera Microcristallina
- Mineral-derived microcrystalline wax, potent occlusive moisturizer; 1-3% significantly extends hydration, heavy texture.
- Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for W/O systems; moderate comedogenicity, monitor oil feel.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Red 33 Lake
- Water-soluble red dye lake for color; low concentrations used, watch for visual accumulation.
- Red 7
- Synthetic colorant for coloring; may cause pigmentation, use caution in sensitive skin
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
