Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Illite
- Mineral powder offering slip and coverage. Iron content may introduce slight color variation to the formula.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Montmorillonite
- Not decoded yet
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Diazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative; EU cap at 0.2%; avoid for formaldehyde-sensitive users
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Quartz
- Mineral abrasive for physical exfoliation; particle size and polish critical, high hardness may damage stratum corneum.
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Zinc Pca
- Zinc salt for sebum control and antimicrobial; often paired with PCA sodium, high levels may cause sensitization
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Centella asiatica extract for soothing/repair; low irritation, common in sensitive skin products.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil
- Tea tree oil, antibacterial and sebum regulating; highly sensitizing at concentrate level, dilute; avoid on broken skin.
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Amylopectin
- Polysaccharide as binder and viscosity controller; starch-derived, no significant skin irritation
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Dextrin
- Polymer thickener and binder from starch fermentation; biodegradable, hygroscopic, may affect powder flow
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
