Ingredients explained

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

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

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Dimethicone

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

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

Macadamia oil, rich in palmitoleic, good penetration; light feel; non-comedogenic.

HDI/PPG/Polycaprolactone Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Magnesium Myristate

Magnesium myristate; powder lubricant and opacifier. For powders, boosts slip and smoothness.

Isopropyl Palmitate

Isopropyl palmitate for dry touch; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants, low viscosity

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil

Light emollient oil rich in oleic acid; moderate comedogenic risk.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Enantia Chlorantha Bark Extract

Enantia chlorantha bark; traditional African herb for skin. Very limited data; require supplier safety dossier.

Pearl Extract

Animal-derived extract with antioxidant function; contains chitin, caution for shellfish allergies, verify heavy metals.

Candida Bombicola/Glucose/Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment

Yeast ferment extract with polysaccharides; used for multifunctional effects, complex profile may sensitise.

Diamond Powder

Diamond powder as abrasive; high hardness, check particle uniformity

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate

Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems

Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer

Polyacrylamide-based thickener with strong emulsion stabilizing power; strict control of residual monomer levels is required.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

Hydrogen Dimethicone

Hydrogenated dimethicone for film-forming and slip; low volatility, rich feel for dry skin

Sorbitan Olivate

O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.

Sorbitan Stearate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity

Isohexadecane

Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Polysorbate 80

Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens

Sorbitan Oleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Octyldodecanol

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

Ceramide NP

Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.

Phytosphingosine

Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Tocopherol

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

Glycine Soja Sterols

Plant-derived emollient and conditioner; high purity and suitable for sensitive skin

Oleanolic Acid

Oleanolic acid derived from rose petals; terpene compound with floral scent used as a skin conditioning agent.

Oleyl Alcohol

Oleic acid derivative acting as emulsifier, thickener, and perfume; mild and low comedogenic risk, often paired with oleic acid.

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Fragrance

Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Coumarin

Classic fragrance and photosensitizer, EU restriction III/77; high allergen risk, limit in facial products

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Amyl Cinnamal

Fragrance ingredient restricted in the EU; usage limits apply to minimize allergic contact dermatitis risk.

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.
