Ingredients explained

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Zinc Stearate

Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Boron nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Phenoxyethanol

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

CI 15985

Synthetic colorant Yellow 4; known maximum usage limits, potential allergy for some, add per regulations with batch records.

CI 19140

Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.

CI 42090

Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.

CI 45410

Acid Red 9, a dye used in hair coloring; restricted to rinse-off hair dye with strict residue limits.

CI 73360

Lake red pigment for coloration; inert, non-irritating, used within concentration limits

CI 75470

Inorganic pigment for color and scent; EU restricted, compliance required.

CI 77007

Mica-based colorant, restricted use; mineral origin, check heavy metal impurities compliance

CI 77163

Titanium dioxide; physical UV filter and white pigment; not absorbed; potential for rare sensitivity, patch test.

CI 77288

Iron Oxide Red colorant, EU restricted; ensure uniform dispersion, avoid metal ion cross-contamination.

CI 77289

Synthetic color lake, green pigment; EU Restriction IV/130, not for ophthalmic products, may cause photosensitivity or staining

CI 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

CI 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

CI 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.

CI 77510

Tin oxide, inert white pigment; non-toxic and non-irritating; used for coverage or as physical sunscreen aid

CI 77742

Titanium dioxide pigment; physical UV filter with no known irritation or sensitization

CI 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
