Ingredients explained

Deionized Water

Deionized water as primary solvent; inactive but carries other ingredients, purity needed to prevent metal ion interference.

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.

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer

Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.

PEG-12 Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.

Silica

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

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone

PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits

Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions

Trihydroxystearin

Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Alumina

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Alpha-Bisabolol

Calendula-derived anti-inflammatory agent; effective at low doses for sensitive skin

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate

Vitamin C ester antioxidant; more stable than ascorbic acid but still light-sensitive.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate

Titanium isostearate complex for UVB absorption and emulsification aid; photostable, low irritancy, low comedogenicity.

Chlorphenesin

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

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Sodium Metabisulfite

Antioxidant/preservative at 0.05–0.2%; irritating for sensitive skin, avoid with oxidizers

Geranium Robertianum Extract

Old man's beard extract for astringent and tonic effects; contains essential oils, caution for sensitive skin and photosensitivity.

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Houttuynia Cordata Extract

Houttuynia cordata extract for anti-inflammatory and soothing effects; contains volatile oils, patch test recommended for sensitive skin.

Citrus Reticulata Peel Extract

Citrus peel extract containing photosensitizing compounds; handle with care to avoid photo-reactions, subject to EU restrictions.

Algae Extract

Algae extract with humectant and conditioning effects; may contain natural fragrant components.

Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract

Centaurea flower extract with flavonoids; astringent and conditioning, mild risk at high levels.

Aspalathus Linearis Extract

Rooibos tea extract with high antioxidant capacity; soothing, no known irritation

Phaseolus Radiatus Sprout Extract

Mung bean sprout extract providing moisturizing and skin conditioning; common in fresh formulas.
