Formulation view This water-based foundation uses cyclopentasiloxane and modified corn starch with silicone polymers for a soft feel. Preservation includes phenoxyethanol and chlorphenesin, requiring caution for sensitive skin. Factory observation indicates that crosslinked silicone viscoelasticity is critical for anti-caking, demanding strict homogenization control, suitable for all skin types seeking high coverage and smoothness.

Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Corn Starch Modified

Modified corn starch, absorbent/film former; distinguish food/cosmetic grade, control Aw for stability.

Bis-PEG/PPG-14/14 Dimethicone

Modified silicone emulsifier 0.5-5%; emollient/cleansing, PEG & silicone

Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate

Neopentyl glycol diethylhexanoate emollient; ester oil, medium viscosity feel regulator, low comedogenicity.

Glycerin

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

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Dimethicone

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

Methylpropanediol

Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Cellulose

Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate

Mild amino acid surfactant for cleansing; low foaming, gentle

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Propylene Carbonate

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

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Solum Diatomeae

Mineral diatomaceous earth for cleansing, absorption, anti-caking; fine particulate, monitor dust inhalation risk.

Isododecane

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Trimethylsiloxysilicate/Dimethiconol Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone film former and viscosity modifier; provides matte slip, non-volatile, requires solvent system.

Benzyl Salicylate

UV absorber/light stabilizer, restricted in EU; potential sensitizer, risk assessment needed.

Tocopherol

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

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract

Astringent and soothing claims; used in toners/cleansers; monitor for plant protein allergies.

Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract

Cinnamon bark for hair and fragrance; some allergens require labeling; watch oral dosage.

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract

Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.

Yellow 5/Yellow 5 Lake

Synthetic yellow pigment; lake form is adsorbed on a carrier to prevent solubility, check carrier compatibility.

Blue 1 Lake

Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit

Ultramarines

Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.

Bismuth Oxychloride

White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some

Iron Oxides (Ci 77491

Not decoded yet

Ci 77492

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

Ci 77499)

Not decoded yet

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
