Ingredients explained

Talc

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

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Silica

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Isostearyl Neopentanoate

Isostearyl neopentanoate; ester-based emulsion stabilizer and humectant; light texture, improves spreadability.

Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate

Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems

Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter

Plant oil for emollience and conditioning; high lipid content, pair with emulsifiers

Dimethiconol Stearate

Silicone emollient providing slip and sheen; low concentration, ensure solubility with oil phase.

Fragrance/Parfum

Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.

Polybutene

Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.

Phenoxyethanol

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

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

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Astrocaryum Tucuma Seed Butter

Tucuma nut butter for skin emollience; no comedogenic data

Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter

Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.

Lauroyl Lysine

Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.

Tocopherol

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

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Glyceryl Oleate

Glyceride-based emulsifier and emolient with mild perfuming properties.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Iron Oxides (Ci 77491

Not decoded yet

Ci 77492

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

Ci 77499)
