Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Tridecyl Trimellitate
- Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.
- Magnesium Stearate
- Anti-caking agent for solids; restricted in injections, control dosage in topicals.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
- Light emollient oil with refined feel; low comedogenic, suitable for most skin.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxide Yellow
- Inorganic yellow pigment for product coloration; functions as a physical cover agent.
- Iron Oxide Red
- Inorganic red pigment; restricted from use as a propellant in aerosols by regulation.
- Iron Oxide Black
- Black iron oxide; inorganic colorant for cosmetics; stable, non-irritating; common in lipsticks and eyeshadows.
- FD&C Yellow 5 Al Lake
- Not decoded yet
- D&C Red 6 Ba Lake
- Not decoded yet
