Formulation view Hydrating silicone BB cream with botanicals, peptides, and mineral UV filters. The complex system involves water-oil layers and polymer dispersion, suitable for combination and oily skin. Factory view: poor compatibility between mineral pigments and silicones requires cross-linked polymers to ensure suspension stability and smooth application.

Ingredients explained

Water\Aqua\Eau

Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.

Dimethicone

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Pentylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Trioctyldodecyl Citrate

Polyol ester for emollience and texture; low comedogenic, good for light formulas.

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate

Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems

Peg-40 Stearate

Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.

Polyglyceryl-10 Pentastearate

Polyglyceryl ester for mild emollient/emulsifying; long-chain structure for rich feel.

Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/Vp Copolymer

Cationic polymer providing suspension, thickening, and conditioning; often paired with anionic thickening systems, low usage, imparts slip.

Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract

Wheat germ extract, nutrient-rich; contains gluten, test for sensitivity.

Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge

Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.

Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract

Botanical extract for conditioning; note extraction impact on active retention

Laminaria Saccharina Extract

Seaweed-derived hydrating skin protectant rich in polysaccharides; filter to prevent microbial contamination

Pyrus Malus Fruit Extract

Apple fruit extract, polyphenols for conditioning and antioxidant; batch variation needs standardization

Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

Scutellaria root extract with baicalin for antioxidant and soothing effects; also provides astringent and humectant properties.

Polyquaternium-51

Not decoded yet

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Acetyl hexapeptide-8; signal peptide, low concentration, used for firming and hydration, low irritancy.

Trehalose

Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.

Oryzanol

Rice-bran antioxidant for skin conditioning and sebum balance

Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate

Ester emollient; light oil feel; low irrit, low comed, good for fresh systems

Urea

Potent humectant and keratolytic, >10% has exfoliating effect; stinging sensation at high levels, sensitive skin caution

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.

Propylene Glycol Laurate

Propylene glycol laurate; emollient and mild detergent; oil-soluble surfactant.

Glycyrrhetinic Acid

Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Sucrose

Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.

Glycerin

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

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate

Mild emulsifier/stabilizer for O/W; control usage to prevent viscosity issues

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Linoleic Acid

Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic

Cholesterol

Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Sodium Pca

Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate

Titanium isostearate complex for UVB absorption and emulsification aid; photostable, low irritancy, low comedogenicity.

Propylene Glycol Stearate

Lipophilic humectant and emulsifier at 0.5–5%; very low comedogenicity

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Polysorbate 20

Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.

Sorbitan Laurate

O/W emulsifier; low-comedogenic ester, verify emulsion stability.

Xanthan Gum

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

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Silica

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

Disodium Edta

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

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.

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Chlorphenesin

Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Titanium Dioxide

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

Zinc Oxide

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

Ci 77491
