Ingredients explained

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Synthetic fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Talc

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

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Butyl Acrylate/Glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Neopentyl glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate

Light emollient ester for fast spreadability and a light feel.

Lauroyl lysine

Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.

Calcium Carbonate

Mineral particle used as abrasive or white filler; particle size dictates feel, control pH for oral use

PEG-15/Lauryl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Methicone

Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits

Isononyl Isononanoate

Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions

Dimethicone

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

Mineral Oil

Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.

Methyl methacrylate/acrylonitrile copolymer

Not decoded yet

Methyl Methacrylate/glycol Dimethacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA/GDMA crosspolymer film former for makeup fixation; high concentrations may cause a heavy, occlusive feel.

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Ethylparaben

Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Silica

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

Isostearyl Alcohol

Non-ionic emulsifier and thickener providing body; at 2-5% enhances emulsion stability.

Zinc Myristate

Metallic soap for anti-caking, opacification, viscosity control; common in powders for dry feel.

Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate

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

Aluminum hydroxide

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

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Lactobacillus/soymilk Ferment Filtrate

Soy-fermented filtrate with prebiotics and small molecules; potential allergen, avoid for soy-sensitive individuals

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

CI 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

CI 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

CI 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
