Formulation view Water-based with silicone and light esters for a light texture. Niacinamide aids brightening and oil control; hydrolyzed soy protein boosts moisture; B5 ferment lysate soothes. Titanium dioxide offers physical coverage; talc adjusts feel. Preserved with sodium benzoate and phenoxyethanol. Suited for mixed/oily skin at night; note the silicone/glycol balance sealing vs. refreshment.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Dimethicone

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Glycerin

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

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Talc

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

C13-14 Isoparaffin

Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature

T-Butyl Alcohol

Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage

Ascorbyl Glucoside

Stable Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant; more stable than pure ascorbic acid, releases activity slowly in neutral/basic conditions.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Crosspolymer

Anionic thickener/emulsion stabilizer; generally mild with no significant irritation or comedogenic risk.

Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer

Acrylate copolymer for film/thickening; water-soluble, compatible, monitor residual monomers.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein

Hydrolyzed soy protein for hydration and antistatic effect; soy is a common allergen requiring labeling, low comedogenicity.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Bifida Ferment Lysate

Bifida lysate for skin conditioning; low usage, suits sensitive skin

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Polyacrylamide

Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66

Silica

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

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Capryloyl Salicylic Acid

Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Parfum

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

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Amino acid-based mild cleanser with fine foam; water-soluble.

BHT

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

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
