Ingredients explained

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Talc

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

Calcium Sodium Borosilicate

Fluorphlogopite; plate-like filler and thickener. For powders and creams, improves texture and coverage.

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Tridecyl Trimellitate

Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.

Magnesium Myristate

Magnesium myristate; powder lubricant and opacifier. For powders, boosts slip and smoothness.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Nylon-12

Not decoded yet

Magnesium Stearate

Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.

Silica

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

Boron Nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Isostearyl Isostearate

Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.

Tin Oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Iron Oxides (Ci 77491

Not decoded yet

Ci 77492

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

Ci 77499)

Not decoded yet

Yellow 5 Lake

Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions

Ultramarines

Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.

Manganese Violet

Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams

Yellow 6 Lake

Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations

Red 6 Lake

Red Lake 6 pigment; low water solubility, use as paste or sifted powder, monitor pH stability.

Red 7 Lake

Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required

Red 40 Lake

Water-insoluble dye for emulsions; monitor batch color consistency, potential allergen for sensitive individuals

Red 27 Lake

Water-soluble azo dye lake colorant; monitor heavy metals and sensitization potential.

Red 33 Lake

Water-soluble red dye lake for color; low concentrations used, watch for visual accumulation.

Bismuth Oxychloride

White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
