Formulation view Isododecane base with crosslinked siloxanes for film-forming and sweat resistance. Waxes adjust hardness; mineral pigments provide color. Ideal for sensitive eye areas seeking smooth, long-lasting wear. Factory view: The high ratio of silicones and inert hydrocarbons reduces friction, ensuring long-lasting adhesion while keeping the eye area lightweight.

Ingredients explained

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Lauroyl Lysine

Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.

Dicalcium Phosphate

Abrasive/bulking agent for teeth; particle size affects cleaning power

Dextrin Palmitate

Modified polysaccharide ester for emulsifying and anticaking; mild cleanser; used in solid soaps or powders.

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Microcrystalline Wax\Cera Microcristallina\Cire Microcristalline

Mineral-derived semi-solid wax providing occlusion and shine; high melting point

Zinc Stearate

Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Euphorbia Cerifera Wax\Candelilla Cera\Cire De Candelilla

Provides viscosity, gloss, and structure; can be occlusive, monitor high usage for comedogenic risk.

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.

Cetyl Dimethicone

Silicone emulsifier/conditioner; excellent slip, hydrophobic, non-comedogenic.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Hydrogenated Styrene/Methylstyrene/Indene Copolymer

Styrene copolymer film-former/thickener; synthetic polymer, check biodegradation profile.

Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer

Hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer for viscosity control; film-forming polymer, generally inert and non-comedogenic.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Laureth-4

Not decoded yet

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

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.

Aluminum Powder

Inorganic colorant; ensure fine milling; mechanical irritation risk; inhalation hazard.

Bismuth Oxychloride

White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some

Blue 1

Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits

Blue 1 Lake

Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit

Bronze Powder

Bronze powder for color; non-reactive, check particle size

Chromium Hydroxide Green

Green colorant used for product aesthetics; purely a pigment.

Chromium Oxide Greens

Green inorganic colorant for pigmentation; non-allergenic, used in color cosmetics

Copper Powder

Copper powder; metallic colorant, antimicrobial; oxidizes, requires sealed packaging.

Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide

Inorganic pigment, blue 1; EU limit 0.1%, prohibited in aerosols, excellent dispersion.

Ferric Ferrocyanide

Colorant (Prussian blue); verify heavy metal limits for cosmetic safety

Manganese Violet

Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams

Ultramarines

Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.

Yellow 5 Lake

Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
