Ingredients explained
- Styrene/acrylates copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Laureth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Phenyl Trimethicone
- Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Carnauba Wax
- High-melting wax for hardness and gloss; high dosages lead to stiff bar texture.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Ozokerite
- Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium polyacrylate starch
- Sodium polyacrylate starch graft, absorbent and binder; hydrophilic polymer for powders, watch for hardness changes upon hydration.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- CI 77266
- Zinc oxide; white physical sunscreen pigment, low antibacterial activity, high levels yield white/cream appearance
