Formulation view A silicone-based physical sunscreen using cyclopentasiloxane and crosspolymer for a silky, matte finish, tinted with iron oxides. Glycerin and argan oil moisturize, while hectorite controls rheology. Ideal for non-greasy sun protection. Factory observation: Compatibility between silicone systems and inorganic powders is critical to prevent oil bleed and texture separation.

Ingredients explained

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Caprylyl Methicone

Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Bisabolol

Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.

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

Helianthus Annuus Extract

Sunflower extract; oleic/vit E rich; emollient, low irrit, good for dry skin, no pub comed data

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Hydrogen Dimethicone

Hydrogenated dimethicone for film-forming and slip; low volatility, rich feel for dry skin

Lauryl Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Silicone-modified surfactant providing conditioning and cleansing benefits; used in hair care with low irritancy.

Oryza Sativa Bran Extract

Rice bran extract rich in vitamins; moisturizing and soothing, generally well-tolerated.

PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone

PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract

Plant extract containing rosmarinic acid etc., with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties; may contain allergenic fragrances, patch test for sensitive skin, typical concentration <1%.

Silica

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

Tocopherol

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

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Iron Oxides
