Ingredients explained
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer used as a thickener; chemically inert, no known skin irritation.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer for viscosity control; inert polymer with no known irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Isononyl Isononanoate
- Light, low-viscosity ester emollient; excellent spreadability, good for gels and light lotions
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Polyhydroxystearic Acid
- Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
