Formulation view This foundation combines water, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide with chemical UV filters for a hybrid sun protection and coverage system. Volatile silicones improve glide, while ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and polyglutamic acid balance the formula with moisturizing and barrier-repairing benefits. Ideal for combination to oily skin types seeking long-lasting makeup with skincare benefits. A formulator observes that the high pigment load relies on a silicon-based matrix for suspension and slip, requiring careful attention to preservative compatibility and stability to maintain texture.

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate

Light diester emollient, light and non-greasy; often used as solvent; oxidizes easily, needs antioxidants.

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Methyl Salicylate

Cooling and fragrance agent; EU Restriction III/324, may sensitize at high levels, avoid for sensitive skin

Rose Flower Water

Not decoded yet

Sea Water

Natural ingredient with salts; acts as solvent or humectant, high salt content may feel gritty

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer for thickening and stability; silicone-based, provides emollience, non-comedogenic, used in powders.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity

Ceramide 3

Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Polyquaternium-51

Not decoded yet

Polyglutamic Acid

Natural-derived polypeptide for hydration and skin conditioning; often used for long-lasting moisture

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Triacetin

Triglyceride acetate solvent/plasticizer; low viscosity, high volatility, may dry skin if unbalanced.

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.

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Flavor

Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
