Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Methyl Trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

PEG-modified silicone with emulsifying and conditioning properties; ensure low dioxane levels in finished goods.

Diphenyl Dimethicone/Vinyl Diphenyl Dimethicone/Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Silicone crosspolymer for viscosity control; slip feel, hydrophobic, ensure silicone phase compatibility.

Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer

Silicone copolymer for anti-caking and film formation, gives non-greasy slip.

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Lightweight natural oil with mineral oil-like feel; oxidizes easily, add antioxidants and control dose.

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Cetyl Dimethicone

Silicone emulsifier/conditioner; excellent slip, hydrophobic, non-comedogenic.

Sodium Benzoate

Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Hexadecene

Lightweight aliphatic solvent; high volatility, prone to oxidation and flammability, add antioxidants

Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate

Mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; low foaming, gentle

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract

Hydrolyzed plant peptides/polysaccharides for skin protection; no irritancy data, test stability

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
