Formulation view Silicone-based hydrating cream using dimethicone and phenyl trimethicone for slip and shine. Includes titanium dioxide for physical coverage and botanical extracts. Alcohol aids solubility for a light finish. Suitable for matte finish preferences and oil control. Formulator note: strong occlusion requires balancing alcohol-induced dryness to prevent congestion.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Dimethicone

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

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

Glycerin

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

Alcohol

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

Butylene Glycol

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

Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Titanium Dioxide

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

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

MMA crosspolymer for durable water-soluble film; high doses may create occlusion

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.

Silica

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone conditioning agent providing smooth, non-greasy feel; suitable for both hair and skin

Phenoxyethanol

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

Parfum/Fragrance

Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.

Aluminum Hydroxide

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

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Disodium EDTA

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

Stearalkonium Hectorite

Inorganic clay gellant with silky feel; must disperse well, high local dose can irritate.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Sorbic Acid

Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Sodium PCA

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

Pentylene Glycol

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

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate

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

Cedrelopsis Grevei Bark Extract

Not decoded yet

Thermus Thermophillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment with humectant properties; use as a low-level skin conditioning agent

Lysine

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

Magnesium Chloride

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

Lapsana Communis Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Lapsana communis extract. Soothing conditioning. Follow manufacturer data for concentration.

Pyrus Sorbus Bud Extract

Not decoded yet

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.

Ci 77891/Titanium Dioxide

Inorganic physical sunscreen and white colorant; large particles and inert; may look chalky at high levels.

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/Iron Oxides

Iron oxide black, inorganic pigment for color or coverage; inert and safe, requires fine grinding for texture
