Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Dimethicone

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

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Ozokerite

Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for creams; oily feel, suitable for dry skin, control usage for oily skin

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Ci 77492

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

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.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil

Laminaria Japonica Extract

Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Ethylhexylglycerin
