Ingredients explained
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Isopentyldiol
- Solvent at 1–10%; helps dissolve actives, fresh feel
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Trisiloxane
- Used as anti-foaming and lubricant; provides silkiness, used at low levels.
- Methyl Trimethicone
- Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate
- Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.
- Phenyl Trimethicone
- Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- PEG-10 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Polysilicone-11
- Not decoded yet
- Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- Silicone surfactant at 1–5%; for hair/cleansing, provides smoothness
- Caffeine
- Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.
- Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer
- Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Triethyl Citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
