Ingredients explained
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Hydrogenated Polydecene
- Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Hexyl Laurate
- Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability
- PEG-10 Dimethicone
- Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.
- Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate
- Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Tocopherol

- Stearyl Triethoxysilane
- Not decoded yet
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid
- Retinyl Retinoate
- Not decoded yet
- Cyclodextrin
- Cyclodextrin; used as a stabilizer or solubilizer to improve solubility of active ingredients and fragrances
- 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.
