Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Methylpropanediol
- Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer
- Film-forming and opacifying copolymer; provides a durable, non-tacky surface layer.
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Poloxamer 407
- Not decoded yet
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Phenylpropanol
- Phenylpropanol for fragrance and solvent; allergen risk, requires assessment
- Sodium Laureth-12 Sulfate
- Anionic sulfate surfactant for cleansing/foaming; strong foamer but can be stripping; lower concentration or blend for sensitive skin.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Capryl Glycol
- Multifunctional glycol; moisturizer and preservative booster, gentle but mild irritation at high conc.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Black 2
- Iron Oxide Black (CI 77499) colorant; inert mineral, low irritancy, prevent inhalation risks from fine particles.
