Formulation view Structured with talc and polyethylene for dry, smooth texture. Mica and titanium dioxide add pearlescence, while diverse pigments create color. Preservation uses chlorphenesin and potassium sorbate, with EDTA chelating metals for stability. Manufacturing view: plastic particles must comply with rinse-off regulations. Pigment dispersion is critical to prevent caking, as color stability is sensitive to pH fluctuations.

Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Zinc Stearate
- Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.
- Tricaprylin
- Ester oil used as solvent or fragrance carrier; lightweight feel, potential low sensitization
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- 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.
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Blue 1
- Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Manganese Violet
- Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
- Ferric Ferrocyanide
- Colorant (Prussian blue); verify heavy metal limits for cosmetic safety
- Chromium Oxide Greens
- Green inorganic colorant for pigmentation; non-allergenic, used in color cosmetics
- Chromium Hydroxide Green
- Green colorant used for product aesthetics; purely a pigment.
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
