Ingredients explained

Benzoyl Peroxide
Strong decolorizer/antibacterial for acne; medical use only, strictly prohibited in cosmetics.
Water
Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
Glyceryl Stearate
Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
PEG-100 Stearate
Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
Sorbitol
Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
Dimethyl Isosorbide
Dimethyl isosorbide as solvent and viscosity control; low toxicity, common use
Disodium PEG-12 Dimethicone Sulfosuccinate
Not decoded yet
Tridecyl Stearate
Tridecyl stearate emollient; lightweight, moderate comedogenic
Neopentyl Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
Light emollient ester for fast spreadability and a light feel.
Paraffin
Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
Cetyl Esters
Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.
Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract
Chamomile extract used for soothing; check for potential sensitizing allergens.
Tridecyl Trimellitate
Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.
Trisodium Sulfosuccinate
Trisodium sulfosuccinate, mild amphoteric surfactant; buffering and chelating, low foam and irritancy.
PEG-12 Dimethicone
Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
Sodium Sulfate
Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
Sodium Hyaluronate
Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
Propylene Glycol
Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
Sodium PCA
Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
Xanthan Gum
Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
Phenoxyethanol
Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
Imidazolidinyl Urea
Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.
Methylparaben
Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
Propylparaben
Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
Fragrance
Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
