Formulation view Soy oil base with alcohol balances hydration and quick-dry finish. Titanium dioxide provides coverage; silica absorbs oil. Levulinate preservation system is mild. Good for dry to combination skin. Formulator note: alcohol concentration must balance to avoid dryness; aluminate impacts powder feel and stability.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Glycerin

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

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Coco-Caprylate

Coconut/caprylate ester for light emollient finish; balance with humectants.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Titanium Dioxide

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

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

Levulinic Acid

Biodegradable organic acid acting as skin conditioner and perfume; pH adjuster, low irritation at typical use levels.

Sodium Levulinate

Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Sodium Lactate

Sodium lactate for moisturizing and exfoliation; pH buffering agent

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.

Alaria Esculenta Extract

Alaria esculenta extract; alginates, 0.1–1%; film-forming and moisturizing; water phase, watch batch stability

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
