Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Synthetic fluorphlogopite
- Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.
- Triglyceride
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Trimethylolpropane Triethylhexanoate
- Not decoded yet
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Polyglyceryl-6 distearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; mild, PEG-free, good compatibility for cream systems.
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Synthetic wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Trihydroxystearin
- Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning
- Stearalkonium bentonite
- Stearylkonium bentonite for gel formation and thickening; cationic, check compatibility
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- 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.
- Propylene carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Sodium chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- 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.
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Carthamus tinctorius
- Not decoded yet
- Aloe Barbadensis
- Aloe vera extract for hydration and soothing; thick at high purity; potential protein allergy
- CI77891
- Not decoded yet
- CI 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- CI 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
