Ingredients explained
- Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate
- Cetearyl ester for emollience/stabilizing; light texture, low comedogenicity, suitable for oily skin.
- Diphenyl Dimethicone/Vinyl Diphenyl Dimethicone/Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer
- Silicone crosspolymer for viscosity control; slip feel, hydrophobic, ensure silicone phase compatibility.
- Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer
- MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion
- PEG-12 Dimethicone
- Water-soluble silicone; provides slip and gloss, easily emulsified, common in hair and skin care.
- Ceratonia Siliqua Gum
- Locust bean gum thickener/emulsifier; viscous at high levels, check batch consistency.
- Amorphophallus Konjac Root Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Agar
- Natural polysaccharide gelling agent for thickening and suspension; may gel at high levels, avoid cationic systems
- Carrageenan
- Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Iron Oxides •Iron Oxides •Iron Oxides
- Iron oxide pigments for color; mineral-based, common in color cosmetics.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
