Ingredients explained
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- 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.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Isoceteth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Red 40 Lake
- Water-insoluble dye for emulsions; monitor batch color consistency, potential allergen for sensitive individuals
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
