Ingredients explained

Isododecane

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

Octyldodecanol

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Lauryl Laurate

Ester emollient; provides slip, stable, low irritation risk.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Synthetic Wax

Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.

Microcrystalline Wax

Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic

Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Wax

Hydrogenated microcrystalline wax for high-melting-point film and occlusion in creams and wax-based products; non-comedogenic but heavy feel

Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate

Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Vp/Eicosene Copolymer

Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Dimethicone

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

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Sodium Lauroyl Aspartate

Sodium lauroyl aspartate, a gentle amino acid surfactant for cleansing and hair care; low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin.

Zinc Chloride

Antimicrobial astringent for oral care; usage levels are restricted.

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

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Barium Sulfate

Inert mineral filler and thickener; not absorbed by skin, avoid dust inhalation in powder processes

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate

Titanium isostearate complex for UVB absorption and emulsification aid; photostable, low irritancy, low comedogenicity.

Tin Oxide

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

Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate

Synthetic powder filler for smooth feel and coverage; inert.

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Yellow 4 Lake

Yellow 4 Lake (Tartrazine Aluminum Lake); insoluble pigment for coloring; check batch-to-batch shade.

Yellow 5 Lake

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

Red 28 Lake

Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.

Red 7 Lake

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

Red 6

Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
