Ingredients explained

Avene Thermal Spring Water

Avene Thermal Spring Water; contains trace minerals and silica; used as a solvent or aqueous base with soothing properties.

Titanium Dioxide [Nano]

Nano white pigment and UV blocker; provides physical sun protection, watch inhalation.

Isodecyl Neopentanoate

Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Glycerin

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Hexyl Laurate

Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability

C30-45 Alkyl Methicone

C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone; high-viscosity silicone providing intense occlusion and slip. Used in premium skincare and base makeup.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

C30-45 Olefin

C30-45 Olefin; long-chain hydrocarbon emollient and viscosity modifier. Provides mineral oil-like occlusion with low sensitization risk.

Cyclohexasiloxane

Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Octyldodecanol

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

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Silk Amino Acids

Silk amino acids for humectancy and hair/skin care; low molecular weight, easily absorbed

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Tocopheryl Glucoside

Water-soluble tocopherol glycoside; antioxidant and skin conditioner. Reduces lipid oxidation, low irritation.

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
