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

Methyl Trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Trimethylsiloxysilicate/Dimethiconol Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone film former and viscosity modifier; provides matte slip, non-volatile, requires solvent system.

Butylene Glycol

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

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.

Phenyl Trimethicone

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

Polymethyl Methacrylate

PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation

PPG-12/Smdi Copolymer

Film former, hair styling, volatile, dry touch, non-comedogenic.

Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant at 1–5%; for hair/cleansing, provides smoothness

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Lecithin

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

Caffeine

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

Triethyl Citrate

Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent

Methicone

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

PEG-10 Dimethicone

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

Laureth-7

Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable

Alumina

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

Silica

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

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate

Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Xanthan Gum

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

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Dimethicone Silylate

Siloxane; used for defoaming and skin feel; low allergenicity, may clog pores, cautious for oily skin.

Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer

Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

Hexylene Glycol

Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Zinc Stearate

Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.

Disodium EDTA

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

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Phenoxyethanol

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

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate for buffering and chelating; adjust pH, careful with strong acid reactions.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Dehydroacetate

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Titanium Dioxide

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

Iron Oxides

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

Iron Oxides

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

Iron Oxides

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