Ingredients explained

Dimethicone

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

Isoamyl laurate

Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations

Polyglyceryl-2 triisostearate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for creams; oily feel, suitable for dry skin, control usage for oily skin

Diphenyl dimethicone/vinyl diphenyl dimethicone/silsesquioxane crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer for viscosity control; slip feel, hydrophobic, ensure silicone phase compatibility.

VINYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE SILSESQUIOXANE CROSSPOLYMER

Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system

Polyethylene

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

Diisostearyl malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Isoeicosane

Isoleicosane solvent and emollient; mineral oil derivative, low volatility, silky feel, non-comedogenic.

Silica

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

Hydrogenated polyisobutene

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

Isononyl Isononanoate

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

Red 7 Lake

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

Polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate

Mild nonionic emulsifier for W/O systems; moderate comedogenicity, monitor oil feel.

Microcrystalline Wax

Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic

Diglyceryl Sebacate/Isopalmitate

Diglyceride blend for emollience and skin conditioning; improves feel and reduces greasiness.

Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate

Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens

Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Extract

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Sorbitan isostearate

Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.

VP/Hexadecene Copolymer

Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Hexylene Glycol

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

CI 17200

Acid Red 33 hair dye; restricted use, potential scalp irritation

CI 77492

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Paraffin

Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability

CI 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

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

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

CI 15985

Synthetic colorant Yellow 4; known maximum usage limits, potential allergy for some, add per regulations with batch records.

Red 28 Lake

Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.

CI 77491

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

Blue 1 Lake

Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit

Red 6

Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
