Ingredients explained
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- 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.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
