Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Fruit Extract
- Citrus peel extract, provides fragrance and astringency; photosensitive due to furanocoumarins; caution in daytime or remove photoactives.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Diglycerin
- Diglycerin humectant and conditioner; low viscosity suitable for liquid formulas, very low irritancy.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Galactoarabinan
- Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.
- Oryza Sativa Starch
- Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- 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 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77007)
- Not decoded yet
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
