Formulation view Water-in-oil emulsion base using cyclopentasiloxane and C12-15 alkyl benzoate for silkiness, structured with acrylate copolymer. Enriched with bisabolol and butyl avocadate. Suitable for custom makeup bases. Factory perspective: Triethanolamine requires precise dosing to manage pH and irritation risks, while balancing silicone volatility and residue control is critical for final texture.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Butyl Avocadate
- Butyrate ester from avocado oil, light non-greasy emollient with low comedogenicity; better oxidative stability than pure avocado oil.
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Ceteth-10 Phosphate
- Sodium/salt of ceteth-10 phosphate, gentle surfactant/emulsifier for rinse-off products; test compatibility with cationics.
- Dicetyl Phosphate
- Emulsifier and auxiliary surfactant for stable lotions; used at low levels in creams.
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Polysilicone-11
- Not decoded yet
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Bht
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium/Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
