Ingredients explained

Dimethicone

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

Silica

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

Ethylhexyl Isononanoate

Light synthetic ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; low irritation, non-comedogenic

Boron nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Diisostearyl malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Imperata Cylindrica root extract

Imperata root extract; traditional TCM ingredient for skin conditioning. No public data on irritancy or comedogenicity.

Lycopodium Clavatum Extract

Lycopodium clavatum extract, botanical with flavonoids; low irritation risk at typical levels.

Calcium aluminum borosilicate

Synthetic powder filler for smooth feel and coverage; inert.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Methicone

Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits

Nylon-12

Pyridoxine Cyclic Phosphate

Not decoded yet

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Tin oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

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

Carmine

Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy

Red 7 Lake

Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
