Formulation view Primarily talc, corn starch, and silica combined with iron oxides and mica for color and luster. Includes vitamin E derivatives for oxidation control and phenoxyethanol for preservation. Ideal for oily skin to set makeup and absorb oil. Factory observation: The powder is prone to clumping due to hygroscopicity; production requires strict humidity control and particle size screening to ensure a dry, smooth finish.

- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
