Ingredients explained
- Water\Aqua\Eau
- Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- PVP/Hexadecene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former; provides moisture and shine, used in hair or makeup, mind dissolution rate
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Phenyl Trimethicone
- Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate
- Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate
- Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Citrus Aurantium Dulcis
- Sweet orange extract/oil used for aroma or antioxidant; phototoxic risk, caution for daytime use.
- Fusanus Spicatus Wood Oil
- Sandalwood oil used as fragrance base; essential oil category, potential allergen, strict labeling compliance required.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- 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 (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Chromium Oxide Greens
- Green inorganic colorant for pigmentation; non-allergenic, used in color cosmetics
