Formulation view Aqueous base with aloe juice for hydration. Oil phase uses isoparaffins and jojoba esters, paired with silica for matte, oil-control. Polyglyceryl emulsifiers ensure gentle stability. Vitamin E adds antioxidant protection. Suitable for oily skin seeking long-wear. Note: Silica combined with light esters balances coverage and weight, maintaining powder-like texture without greasiness.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

C13- 15 Alkane

Not decoded yet

C15-19 Alkane

Isoparaffinic oil; light texture, petroleum-derived, requires full hydrotreatment per regulations.

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.

Glycerin

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

Silica

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

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Dicaprylyl Ether

Lightweight diester solvent and emollient, non-greasy feel; common oil phase carrier; low irritation.

Polyglyceryl-6 Oleate

Vegetable-derived gentle emulsifier for sensitive skin; no public comedogenic data.

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Trihydroxystearin

Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning

Magnesium Sulfate

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

Glyceryl Behenate

Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax

Sunflower seed wax for thickness/filming; waxy texture, potential comedogenic at high levels.

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate

Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.

Lactic Acid

AHA pH adjuster at 0.5-5%; exfoliation/humectancy, mild at low conc., irritating at high, avoid conflict with alkaline preservatives.

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Xanthan Gum

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

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate

Amino acid surfactant, gentle and suitable for sensitive skin; moderate cleansing power.

Polyglycerin-3

Not decoded yet

Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax

Plant wax for emollience and film formation; blend with other waxes for melting point.

Lysine

Amino acid conditioner for anti-static hair care; low irritation at typical cosmetic concentrations.

Lecithin

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

Magnesium Chloride

Inorganic salt for thickening and pH adjustment; 0.1-1%, avoid calcium ions

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Tartaric Acid

Small-molecule organic acid used as buffer and antioxidant; highly irritating at high levels, caution for sensitive skin

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Gluconic Acid

Chelating agent for metal stability; mild AHA properties; monitor pH impact.

Dipotassium Phosphate

Buffer, pH control, non-irritating, non-comedogenic.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Alcohol

Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.

Sodium Hydroxide

Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care

Sodium Gluconate

Mild chelator, aids skin conditioning; typically used at low levels as auxiliary

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Sodium Dehydroacetate

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

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
