Ingredients explained
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Zinc Stearate
- Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.
- Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate
- Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate
- Synthetic powder filler for smooth feel and coverage; inert.
- Boron Nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer
- Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Triethylhexanoin
- Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent
- Salix Alba Bark Extract
- Contains natural salicylic acid precursors, mild exfoliating and antibacterial; may irritate at high levels; avoid in sensitive skin.
- Perilla Ocymoides Seed Oil
- Perilla seed oil, rich in ALA; skin conditioning agent, prone to oxidation, add antioxidants and store cool.
- Lysolecithin
- Lecithin derivative emulsifier used for stabilization in O/W systems; no public irritancy or comedogenic data.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Titanium Dioxide/Ci 77891
- Efficient physical UV filter; nano-forms have inhalation risk, strictly banned in aerosols; non-comedogenic
