Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hydrated silica
- Inorganic abrasive and oil absorbent; prone to settling, needs dispersant, high levels increase exfoliation
- Polysorbate 60
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for O/W or W/O stability; may cause mild stinging on sensitive skin, typically 1-5%.
- Nylon 6/12
- 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.
- Caprylyl Methicone
- Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
- Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer
- Silicone polymer for silkiness and film formation; non-comedogenic, common in lotions and sunscreens.
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Calendula officinalis
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium polyacrylate starch
- Sodium polyacrylate starch graft, absorbent and binder; hydrophilic polymer for powders, watch for hardness changes upon hydration.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Pectin
- Natural polysaccharide binder/stabilizer for gels; incompatible with cationics
- Isoceteth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Plankton extract
- Plankton extract for skin conditioning; low concentrations typical, ensure source purity to avoid microbial contamination.
- Alteromonas Ferment Extract
- Ferment filtrate with peptides/polysaccharides; skin conditioning, 1–3% typical; check preservative system.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
