Formulation view A water-based gel-cream on glycerin/butylene glycol with light ester and fatty alcohols, thickened by an acrylate copolymer. Calamine gives oil-absorbing, soothing payoff, supported by piroctone olamine, zinc/copper gluconates, oleanolic acid and NDHA for blemish-prone skin; phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin and caprylyl glycol form the preservative system. Best for oily, breakout-prone skin. Note the matte, powder-suspended texture and the presence of listed fragrance allergens.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Calamine
- Mineral powder for absorbing, opacifying and protecting skin; low irritation at low levels.
- Isostearyl Isostearate
- Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.
- Arachidyl Alcohol
- Waxy emulsion stabilizer and thickener, often paired with cetearyl alcohol; heavy feel, good for creams
- Palmitoyl Proline
- Not decoded yet
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Octadecenedioic Acid
- Unsaturated dicarboxylic acid for thickening and rheology; used as gel or emulsion thickener, low irritation
- Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer
- Ash-free water-soluble thickener/suspending agent; electrolyte tolerant; hygroscopic, needs preservative system; high loads may exceed viscosity limits.
- Magnesium Palmitoyl Glutamate
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Palmitoyl Sarcosinate
- Mild amino acid surfactant, often co-used with SLS to reduce irritation; fine foam for cleansers.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Arachidyl Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier and emollient, PEG-free; co-soluble with stearoyl lactylates
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Piroctone Olamine
- Antifungal/antiseborrheic agent; high-concentration irritation; avoid eye area.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Chlorphenesin

- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Magnesium Aspartate
- Magnesium aspartate; water-soluble chelant/conditioner. Use at 1-2%; check chelation efficiency.
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
- PEG-60 Almond Glycerides
- Gentle almond-based PEG emulsifier; good for sensitive skin, monitor PEG hydrolysis
- Copper Gluconate
- Copper gluconate; trace antioxidant/repair agent. Use <0.05%; high levels cause color change/irritation.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid

- Tapioca Starch
- Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc
- Phenoxyethanol

- Long-chain hydroxy fatty acid for emollience and barrier support; control concentration to avoid clogging
- Sebacic Acid
- Sebacic acid; lipophilic buffering agent and skin conditioner; check dispersion in formulation.
