Ingredients explained
- Polymethyl Methacrylate
- PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation
- Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate
- Neopentyl glycol diethylhexanoate emollient; ester oil, medium viscosity feel regulator, low comedogenicity.
- Isostearyl Isostearate
- Dry emollient providing non-greasy feel; low comedogenic risk, suitable for combination skin.
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Copernicia Cerifera Wax
- High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog
- Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate
- Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems
- Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Wax
- Hydrogenated microcrystalline wax for high-melting-point film and occlusion in creams and wax-based products; non-comedogenic but heavy feel
- Synthetic Wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate
- Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Simethicone
- Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
