Ingredients explained
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- 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
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Bentonite
- Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches
- Calamine Powder
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl Monostearate
- Not decoded yet
- Cetostearyl Alcohol
- Not decoded yet
- Isoamyl laurate
- Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Glyceryl caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Glyceryl Undecylenate
- Light ester emollient with silk-like, spreadable feel; common carrier for UV filters, good silicone compatibility
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Tea tree oil
- Botanical essential oil, antibacterial and oil control; contains camphor, high concentrations may sensitize or irritate
- Xanthum Gum
- Not decoded yet
- Imidazolidinyl Urea
- Formaldehyde releaser in preservative systems; monitor for formaldehyde and urea sensitivity issues.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Carrageenan
- Natural thickener/gelling agent from red algae; high concentrations may cause discomfort for sensitive individuals.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- vitamin E
- Tocopherol antioxidant; >0.5% may need encapsulation or synergists to prevent oxidation.
- Neem Tree
- Not decoded yet
- Licorice Extract
- Contains glycyrrhizin and glabridin for soothing and pigmentation inhibition; manage light sensitivity and concentration limits
- Gotu Kola
- Not decoded yet
- Peppermint Oil
- Peppermint oil with strong cooling sensation, high levels cause sensitivity, avoid on compromised skin.
