Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Hexyl Laurate
- Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Manganese Violet
- Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
- Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone
- Phenyl trimethicone for anti-foaming and slip; silicone-based, silky feel
- Magnesium Myristate
- Magnesium myristate; powder lubricant and opacifier. For powders, boosts slip and smoothness.
- Methylpropanediol
- Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.
- Calcium Carbonate
- Mineral particle used as abrasive or white filler; particle size dictates feel, control pH for oral use
- Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate
- Waxy skin conditioner; adds gloss and emollience; non-comedogenic but heavy for oily skin.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Iron Oxide Yellow
- Inorganic yellow pigment for product coloration; functions as a physical cover agent.
- Iron Oxide Red
- Inorganic red pigment; restricted from use as a propellant in aerosols by regulation.
- Methicone
- Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits
- Red 30
- Synthetic azo dye for coloring; subject to regulatory limits, ensure compliance
- Iron Oxide Black
- Black iron oxide; inorganic colorant for cosmetics; stable, non-irritating; common in lipsticks and eyeshadows.
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
