Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Glycerin

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

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate

Mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; low foaming, gentle

Magnesium Sulfate

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

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Xanthan Gum

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

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Propylparaben

Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Octyldodecyl Myristate

Lightweight ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; acts as an emollient.

Capparis Spinosa Fruit Extract

Capers fruit extract; rich in polyphenols, antioxidant and soothing, control batch-to-batch variability

Allantoin

Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration

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.

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Ci 19140 (Yellow 5

Yellow 5 Lake)

Not decoded yet

Ci 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.

Ci 77007

Mica-based colorant, restricted use; mineral origin, check heavy metal impurities compliance

Ci 77163

Titanium dioxide; physical UV filter and white pigment; not absorbed; potential for rare sensitivity, patch test.

Ci 77491

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

Ci 77492

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

Ci 77499

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

Ci 77891

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