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.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
- Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.
- Magnesium Myristate
- Magnesium myristate; powder lubricant and opacifier. For powders, boosts slip and smoothness.
- Nylon-12
- Not decoded yet
- Tridecyl Trimellitate
- Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.
- 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
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-1
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
- Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel
- 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
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- 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.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
