Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Zinc Oxide

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

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Dimethicone

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

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

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Methyl trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Butylene Glycol

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

Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract

Terminalia ferdinandiana extract; traditional lightening agent; antioxidant for uneven skin tone.

Hydrogenated polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer

Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc

Sodium chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Alumina

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

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

Aluminum hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Sodium lauroyl glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Propylene carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Hyaluronic Acid

High-water-binding humectant at 0.1-1%; high-MW for surface film, low-MW for dermal potential, check cationic compatibility.

Silanetriol

Basic silanetriol for hair anti-static and smoothness; must be complexed with polymers for stability

Magnesium chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Citric Acid

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

Dipropylene glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Tocopherol

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

CI 77007

Mica-based colorant, restricted use; mineral origin, check heavy metal impurities compliance

CI 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

CI 77492

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

CI 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.

CI 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
