Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Nylon-12
- Not decoded yet
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Magnesium Myristate
- Magnesium myristate; powder lubricant and opacifier. For powders, boosts slip and smoothness.
- Phenyl Trimethicone
- Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Ci 77007
- Mica-based colorant, restricted use; mineral origin, check heavy metal impurities compliance
- 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
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
