Ingredients explained
- Water\Aqua\Eau
- Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate
- Amphoteric surfactant for cleansing and foam boosting; milder than sulfates, low comedogenic risk.
- Disodium Oleamido Mipa-Sulfosuccinate
- Not decoded yet
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Stearamidoethyl Diethylamine
- Not decoded yet
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Trisodium Sulfosuccinate
- Trisodium sulfosuccinate, mild amphoteric surfactant; buffering and chelating, low foam and irritancy.
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Oleamide Mipa
- Not decoded yet
- Caramel
- Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
