Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Isododecane

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Glycerin

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

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

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

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

Isoeicosane

Isoleicosane solvent and emollient; mineral oil derivative, low volatility, silky feel, non-comedogenic.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Phenoxyethanol

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

Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer

Anionic polymer for antistatic properties and film formation; common in blow-dry sprays, forms easily washed-off film.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

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

Boron Nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

Isostearyl Neopentanoate

Isostearyl neopentanoate; ester-based emulsion stabilizer and humectant; light texture, improves spreadability.

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Methylparaben

Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Triethyl Citrate

Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Tocopherol

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

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Perfluorooctyl Triethoxysilane

Not decoded yet

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Ficus Carica Fruit/Leaf Extract

Not decoded yet

Xanthan Gum

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

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 77891/Titanium Dioxide

Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.

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 77499 / Iron Oxides
