Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Light diester emollient, light and non-greasy; often used as solvent; oxidizes easily, needs antioxidants.
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Ethylene/Acrylic Acid Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former for matte feel; often used in emulsion form
- Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
- Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions
- Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone
- Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits
- Bis-Hydroxyethoxypropyl Dimethicone/Ipdi Copolymer Ethylcarbamate
- Silicone-based copolymer film former; provides slip and water resistance, accumulates.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Trisiloxane
- Used as anti-foaming and lubricant; provides silkiness, used at low levels.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Sorbitan Sesquioleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Di-C12-13 Alkyl Tartrate
- Di-alkyl tartrate, mild emollient; low comedogenic risk, suitable for sensitive skin.
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Caprylyl Methicone
- Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.
- Ethylene Brassylate
- Ethylene brassylate for fragrance and toning; potential sensitizer
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Dextrin Palmitate
- Modified polysaccharide ester for emulsifying and anticaking; mild cleanser; used in solid soaps or powders.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Poloxamer 338
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Rosa Hybrid Flower Extract
- Rose extract; phenols/antioxidants, moisturizing; natural fragrance components may be photosensitive.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
- 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
