Ingredients explained
- Butyl Acetate
- Volatile solvent and fragrance; has distinct odor, used as diluent, high levels can irritate nasal passages.
- Ethyl Acetate
- Organic solvent/fragrance carrier, fast evaporation; ventilation needed during production
- Nitrocellulose
- Film former for nail/gel products; insoluble in water, requires organic solvents, flammable.
- Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer
- Polyol acid anhydride copolymer film former; adjust load for durability and feel.
- Acetyl Tributyl Citrate
- Acetylated citrate ester; plasticizer and fragrance carrier
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Stearalkonium Bentonite
- Stearylkonium bentonite for gel formation and thickening; cationic, check compatibility
- N-Butyl Alcohol
- Solvent and denaturant used to dissolve other ingredients
- Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer
- Film former and opacifier for powder makeup; some batches contain sensitizing monomers.
- Benzophenone-1
- Not decoded yet
- Trimethylpentanediyl Dibenzoate
- Not decoded yet
- Diacetone Alcohol
- Diacetone alcohol used as solvent and fragrance; aromatic ring may cause sensitization, monitor concentration.
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
- Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.
- Calcium Sodium Borosilicate
- Fluorphlogopite; plate-like filler and thickener. For powders and creams, improves texture and coverage.
- Aluminum Hydroxide
- Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.
- Methicone
- Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Ci 77861
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Ci 77742
- Titanium dioxide pigment; physical UV filter with no known irritation or sensitization
- Ci 77510
- Tin oxide, inert white pigment; non-toxic and non-irritating; used for coverage or as physical sunscreen aid
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77163
- Titanium dioxide; physical UV filter and white pigment; not absorbed; potential for rare sensitivity, patch test.
- Ci 75470
- Inorganic pigment for color and scent; EU restricted, compliance required.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Ci 15880
- Not decoded yet
