Ingredients explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Ammonium Acrylates Copolymer
- Synthetic polymer for film forming, thickening, and antistatic; requires pH adjustment.
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Beheneth-30
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Simethicone
- Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Sorbitan Palmitate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, typically used in W/O or blending systems. Low toxicity, non-comedogenic.
- Sorbitan Laurate
- O/W emulsifier; low-comedogenic ester, verify emulsion stability.
- Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides
- Semi-synthetic ester for emollience and emulsification; palm-oil derived, higher comedogenicity, caution in blends
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Sorbitan Trioleate
- W/O non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; moderate comedogenic risk.
- Sucrose Palmitate
- Succrose ester for gentle emulsification/cleansing; biodegradable, low comedogenicity.
- 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.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Chromium Hydroxide Green
- Green colorant used for product aesthetics; purely a pigment.
- Chromium Oxide Greens
- Green inorganic colorant for pigmentation; non-allergenic, used in color cosmetics
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide
- Inorganic pigment, blue 1; EU limit 0.1%, prohibited in aerosols, excellent dispersion.
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Ferric Ferrocyanide
- Colorant (Prussian blue); verify heavy metal limits for cosmetic safety
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
