Formulation view This moisturizing foundation uses an O/W emulsion with titanium dioxide and iron oxides for coverage, plus boron nitride for smoothness. It includes UV filters for basic sun protection, squalane, and glycerin for hydration. Formulator note: synthetic film-formers ensure longevity, but high inorganic pigment loads may affect texture; ideal for dry to combination skin as a daily base.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water
- Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Ethylhexyl Salicylate
- Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier for creams; oily feel, suitable for dry skin, control usage for oily skin
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate
- W/O emulsifier for fatty acids; contains PEG, verify preservative compatibility.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer
- MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Methicone
- Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Magnesium Stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide
- Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.
- Ci 77491/Iron Oxides
- Iron oxide yellow, inorganic pigment for coloration; high coverage, inert and safe for sensitive skin
- Ci 77492/Iron Oxides
- Red pigment for coloration; stable, water-insoluble, no known sensitization risk, common in makeup.
- Ci 77499/Iron Oxides
- Iron oxide black, inorganic pigment for color or coverage; inert and safe, requires fine grinding for texture
