Formulation view Iridescent eyeshadow based on mica and talc, enriched with boron nitride and synthetic fluorophlogopite for shine. Lipid phase uses light triglycerides and polyisobutene for smoothness. Preserved by phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol. Factory note: strict particle size control to prevent inhalation risk and heavy metal screening. Ideal for fine makeup effects.

Ingredients explained
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
- Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Magnesium Stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Magnesium Palmitate
- Not decoded yet
- Tridecyl Trimellitate
- Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.
- Nylon-12
- Not decoded yet
- Magnesium Myristate
- Magnesium myristate; powder lubricant and opacifier. For powders, boosts slip and smoothness.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-1
- Not decoded yet
- Phenyl Trimethicone
- Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Manganese Violet
- Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
