Ingredients explained
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- 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.
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Diphenyl Dimethicone
- Silicone for emollience and antistatic; used in hair and skin care, check compatibility with other silicones
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Cera Microcristallina/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcrystalline
- Mineral-based occlusive/structuring wax; non-breathable, use caution in sensitive formulas.
- Silica Silylate
- Silylate silica for anticaking, defoaming, emulsion stabilization, film-forming; improves powder flow/texture
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone
- High-volatility silicone for slip and gloss at 1–5%; non-comedogenic, good for oily skin, pair with volatile silicones
- 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.
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Illicium Verum Fruit Extract
- Star anise extract with anethole; fragrant and conditioning, allergen present, high levels risk sensitivity.
- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract
- Extract for color and conditioning; watch dark batches in clear systems
- Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract
- Lotus flower extract for skin conditioning; no specific irritancy or comedogenic data, generally safe at standard use.
- Nymphaea Odorata Root Extract
- Sweet water-lily root extract, tonic/refreshing claims; plant extract, batch variability & allergen check.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
- Yellow 6 Lake
- Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations
- 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.
- Red 7 Lake
- Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
