Formulation view This item is actually nail polish, not a skincare serum, containing nitrocellulose film formers and butyl acetate solvents. Thickened with silica, colored with inorganic pigments, and preserved with sorbic acid. Alcohol aids drying for nail decoration, not facial care. Factory view: balancing solvent volatility with film strength and pigment dispersion stability is key.

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.
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Acetyl Tributyl Citrate
- Acetylated citrate ester; plasticizer and fragrance carrier
- Tosylamide/Epoxy Resin
- Film-forming plasticizer for water-resistant makeup; heat-sensitive, check sensitization risk.
- Stearalkonium Bentonite
- Stearylkonium bentonite for gel formation and thickening; cationic, check compatibility
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
- Phosphoric Acid
- Strong buffering agent for pH control; highly irritant, requires precise concentration management
- Diacetone Alcohol
- Diacetone alcohol used as solvent and fragrance; aromatic ring may cause sensitization, monitor concentration.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide
- Inorganic pigment, blue 1; EU limit 0.1%, prohibited in aerosols, excellent dispersion.
- Aluminum Powder
- Inorganic colorant; ensure fine milling; mechanical irritation risk; inhalation hazard.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Red 6 Lake
- Red Lake 6 pigment; low water solubility, use as paste or sifted powder, monitor pH stability.
- Iron Oxides ]
- Iron oxide pigments for coverage and color; inert inorganics, non-irritating, ensure fine milling
