Formulation view Aqueous base with aloe juice for hydration. Oil phase uses isoparaffins and jojoba esters, paired with silica for matte, oil-control. Polyglyceryl emulsifiers ensure gentle stability. Vitamin E adds antioxidant protection. Suitable for oily skin seeking long-wear. Note: Silica combined with light esters balances coverage and weight, maintaining powder-like texture without greasiness.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
- Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated
- C13- 15 Alkane
- Not decoded yet
- C15-19 Alkane
- Isoparaffinic oil; light texture, petroleum-derived, requires full hydrotreatment per regulations.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate
- Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Dicaprylyl Ether
- Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate
- Vegetable-derived gentle emulsifier for sensitive skin; no public comedogenic data.
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Trihydroxystearin
- Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning
- Magnesium Sulfate
- Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.
- Glyceryl Behenate
- Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax
- Sunflower seed wax for thickness/filming; waxy texture, potential comedogenic at high levels.
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- Lactic Acid
- AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
- Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.
- Polyglycerin-3
- Not decoded yet
- Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax
- Plant wax for emollience and film formation; blend with other waxes for melting point.
- Lysine
- Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Magnesium Chloride
- Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Tartaric Acid
- Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Gluconic Acid
- Chelating agent for metal stability; mild AHA properties; monitor pH impact.
- Dipotassium Phosphate
- Buffer, pH control, non-irritating, non-comedogenic.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Sodium Gluconate
- Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
