Formulation view Light emulsion using Avene thermal spring water as base, with PMMA microspheres for a matte finish. Zinc salicylate and 1,2-hexanediol synergize for oil control and preservation, while sunflower oil moisturizes. Alcohol-free design reduces irritation. Suited for oily or combination skin to reduce shine; sensitive skin should test compatibility with mineral oil alternatives.

- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Lightweight emollient, low viscosity, refreshes skin feel, high compatibility.
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- C14-22 Alcohols
- Fatty alcohol blend for emulsion stability and texture; may contain myristyl alcohol, moderate comedogenic risk.
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- PEG-6
- Not decoded yet
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- C12-20 Alkyl Glucoside
- Non-ionic surfactant for mild cleansing and emulsification; plant-based glucoside, suitable for sensitive and baby skin.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Caprylyl Glycol Linseedate
- Not decoded yet
- Fragrance

- Glyceryl Behenate
- Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.
- Glyceryl Dibehenate
- Glycerol dibehenate as emollient and skin conditioner. High-carbon chain ester providing slip; non-comedogenic, suitable for all skin types.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract
- Silybum marianum fruit extract (milk thistle). Antioxidant. Contains alkaloids/terpenes; rare cross-allergenicity with grass/pollen families.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Polyacrylate
- Superabsorbent resin, <1%; gels with electrolytes, ionic strength control required.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Zinc Salicylate
