Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Magnesium stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate
- Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides (CI 77491
- Not decoded yet
- CI 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- CI 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
- CI 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Manganese Violet
- Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
- Tin oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Barium Sulfate
- Inert mineral filler and thickener; not absorbed by skin, avoid dust inhalation in powder processes
- Red 6
- Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
- Red 7
- Synthetic colorant for coloring; may cause pigmentation, use caution in sensitive skin
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
- Pigment
- Not decoded yet
