Ingredients explained
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Saccharomyces/Camellia Sinensis Leaf/Cladosiphon Okamuranus/Rice Ferment Filtrate*
- Multi-strain ferment filtrate with yeast and green tea; provides moisturizing and conditioning; purity critical.
- Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
- Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Ceresin
- Mineral wax for thickening, film-forming, and emulsion stabilization; highly occlusive, non-allergenic
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Dimethicone/Peg-10/15 Crosspolymer
- Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc
- Sericin
- Animal-derived silk protein, used for anti-static and hair/skin conditioning; provides smoothness and repair.
- Hydrolyzed Silk
- Hydrolyzed silk; amino acid-rich humectant for skin and hair; potential protein allergens for sensitive skin
- Silk Powder
- Silk powder for bulking and conditioning; provides smoothness and gloss, animal-derived.
- Caesalpinia Spinosa Fruit Extract
- Plant extract for skin protection; contains antioxidants, may need stabilizers at high conc.
- Kappaphycus Alvarezii Extract
- Seaweed polysaccharide; film forming and moisturizing; provides gel texture; gentle.
- Yeast Extract
- Yeast extract for skin care and protection; common, low allergy risk
- Distearyldimonium Chloride
- Cationic hair detangler; add with nonionics to reduce tack at high levels.
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Zinc Stearate
- Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.
- 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
- Peg/Ppg-18/18 Dimethicone
- PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits
- Peg-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- PEG-modified silicone with emulsifying and conditioning properties; ensure low dioxane levels in finished goods.
- Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate
- Mild nonionic emulsifier for W/O systems; moderate comedogenicity, monitor oil feel.
- Biosaccharide Gum-4
- Moisturizing film-former enhancing water retention; bio-fermented origin, low sensitization risk
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- 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.
- Parfum/Fragrance
- Blended fragrance for odor; contains 26 restricted allergens, use caution in sensitive/child/eye products, verify compliance.
- Isopropyl Alcohol
- Alcohol solvent at 1–10%; fast-evaporating, high levels may cause dryness/irritation
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Iron Oxide
- Inorganic oxide pigment for color; concentration is restricted in specific mixtures.
