Formulation view A highlighter formula based on dimethicone and light ester carriers for slip and spreadability. Shimmer and color are achieved through a blend of synthetic mica, titanium dioxide, and iron oxides. The rheology and suspension stability are managed with crosslinked silicones and stearalkonium hectorite, preserved with phenoxyethanol. From a formulator's view, the synergy between the inorganic powder matrix and the silicone phase ensures a fine, durable glow suitable for all skin types, requiring precise particle dispersion.

Ingredients explained
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
- Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Ethylhexyl Isononanoate
- Light synthetic ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; low irritation, non-comedogenic
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer
- Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Stearalkonium Hectorite
- Inorganic clay gellant with silky feel; must disperse well, high local dose can irritate.
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Calcium Sodium Borosilicate
- Fluorphlogopite; plate-like filler and thickener. For powders and creams, improves texture and coverage.
- Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate
- Synthetic powder filler for smooth feel and coverage; inert.
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
