Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Cyclomethicone

Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026

Glycerin

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Talc

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

Isoeicosane

Isoleicosane solvent and emollient; mineral oil derivative, low volatility, silky feel, non-comedogenic.

Zinc Oxide

Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.

Titanium Dioxide

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

Hexyl Laurate

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

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Betaine

Betaine for mild moisturizing/surfactant; low concentration 1-2% common, high may irritate.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical extract for skin and hair conditioning; activity and irritation risk vary by source/purity, patch test for sensitive skin

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Portulaca Oleracea Extract

Achyronica extract with anti-inflammatory properties; monitor for heavy metals and pesticides, low-risk at typical doses

Dioscorea Villosa Root Extract

Wild Yam extract; traditional ingredient used as skin conditioner. Low concentration, limited clinical evidence.

Equisetum Giganteum Extract

Equisetum giganteum extract for skin conditioning; watch batch-to-batch consistency.

Kigelia Africana Fruit Extract

Kigelia africana fruit extract, skin conditioner; watch microbial limits.

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

Humectant for hydration and film formation; 1-5%, monitor microbial contamination

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Glycosyl Trehalose

Glycosylated trehalose to enhance skin tolerance and moisture retention; acts as a film former.

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer

Silicone copolymer for anti-caking and film formation, gives non-greasy slip.

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Methicone

Volatile silicone offering slip and antistatic properties; inert at high purity, check cyclic isomer limits

Vinyl Dimethicone Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer; smooth, non-greasy finish; low usage, minimal irritation, low comedogenic risk

Parfum /Fragrance

Composite fragrance blend; allergen profile varies by supplier; require full disclosure, caution for sensitive skin

Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone

Vanilla-like fragrance ingredient; one of EU 26 allergens, caution advised for sensitive skin.

Hexyl Cinnamal

Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Citronellol

Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Geraniol

Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.

Eugenol

Potent natural fragrance, EU restriction III/71; listed allergen, max 5%, caution for sensitive skin

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Ci 77492/Iron Oxides

Red pigment for coloration; stable, water-insoluble, no known sensitization risk, common in makeup.

Ci 77499/Iron Oxides

Iron oxide black, inorganic pigment for color or coverage; inert and safe, requires fine grinding for texture

Ci 77491/Iron Oxides

Iron oxide yellow, inorganic pigment for coloration; high coverage, inert and safe for sensitive skin
