Ingredients explained
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Hydrogenated Polydecene
- Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
- Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Magnesium Silicate
- Magnesium silicate; plate-like inorganic mineral for oil absorption and suspension; non-irritating, common in powders.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid
- Hexyl Laurate
- Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate
- Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas
- PEG-10 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.
- Stearyl Triethoxysilane
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Canola Oil
- Low-erucic acid vegetable oil as emollient; check allergen labeling if applicable.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Polylactic Acid
- Physical exfoliating abrasive; particle size must suit efficacy without scratching
- Cholesteryl Nonanoate
- Cholesteryl nonanoate, light oil ester; fast-absorbing, non-greasy, enhances permeability for light moisturizers.
- Retinyl Retinoate
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
