Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Ascorbic Acid 15.0%
- Not decoded yet
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.
- Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
- Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Tocotrienols
- Vitamin E isomer; potent antioxidant for lipid protection and UV synergy, light and heat sensitive.
- Sorbitan Caprylate
- Non-ionic oil-soluble emulsifier for W/O systems at 1–5%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin.
- Polysilicone-11
- Not decoded yet
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6
- Water-soluble thickener; requires neutralizer, performs best at pH 5–7
- Elaeis Guineensis Oil
- Palm oil, emollient occlusive; saturated fats, moderate comedogenic risk.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Dimethicone PEG-7 Phosphate
- Dimethicone PEG-7 phosphate; emulsifier and cleansing aid; check silicone/PEG compatibility
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Dimethylacrylamide/Acrylic Acid/Polystyrene Ethyl Methacrylate Copolymer
- Water-soluble film-forming polymer for thickening; potential trace monomer release, monitor sensitization for sensitive skin.
- Coco-Caprylate/Caprate
- Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- T-Butyl Alcohol
- Fast-evaporating solvent; sharp odor and potential irritation at high levels, limit usage
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Ci 15985
- Synthetic colorant Yellow 4; known maximum usage limits, potential allergy for some, add per regulations with batch records.
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
