Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Hydrated Silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Bentonite
- Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Avena Sativa Peptide
- Soothing/humectant peptide for skin and hair; good for sensitive formulas, often paired with oat extract.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Ci 77288
- Iron Oxide Red colorant, EU restricted; ensure uniform dispersion, avoid metal ion cross-contamination.
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
