Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides
- Common lightweight ester oil; pleasant skin feel, high biocompatibility for moisturizing bases.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Peg-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Acrylates/Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer; film former for matte finish and longevity in makeup.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil
- Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.
- Acer Saccharum Extract
- Maple extract; NMF/AA source; gentle humectant, no public irritant/comedogenic data
- Citrus Limon Fruit Extract
- Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.
- Citrus Sinensis Fruit Extract
- Not decoded yet
- Saccharum Officinarum Extract
- Sugarcane extract, mainly moisturizing and conditioning; use at low levels; prone to microbes, needs preservatives.
- Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract
- Bilberry extract with polyphenols for astringency and soothing.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil
- Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide/Ci 77891
- Efficient physical UV filter; nano-forms have inhalation risk, strictly banned in aerosols; non-comedogenic
