Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Zinc Stearate
- Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Nylon-12
- Not decoded yet
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate
- Ester emollient; light oil feel; low irrit, low comed, good for fresh systems
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Saccharomyces/Potassium Ferment
- Not decoded yet
- Saccharomyces/Magnesium Ferment
- Yeast and magnesium ferment supplementing minerals and peptides; functional co-agent, typically low concentration
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate
- Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
- Rice protein; water-soluble small MM; antistatic, humectant, gloss for hair, no pub data
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract
- Giant kelp extract; moisturizing polysaccharides; ocean theme, check for marine allergies.
- Nereocystis Leutkeana Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Laminaria Japonica Extract
- Kelp extract providing hydration and antioxidant protection; water-soluble.
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Seed Extract
- Sweet almond extract, oils/phenolics for moisture/repair, low allergenicity but label nut origin
- Dimethiconol
- Dimethiconol; silicone emollient providing silky feel and reducing friction; moderate comedogenicity, avoid excess.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- 77492
- Not decoded yet
- 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
