Ingredients explained
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Caprylyl Methicone
- Volatile silicone, fresh feel, does not absorb oil, used in foundations and cushions.
- Isostearic Acid
- Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy
- PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone
- PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits
- Polyhydroxystearic Acid
- Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.
- Silicon Dioxide
- Silica as an adsorbent and thickener for oil control and texture; high concentrations may clog pores.
- Vitamin E Acetate
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-12 Dimethicone/PPG-20 Crosspolymer
- Silicone polymer for silkiness and film formation; non-comedogenic, common in lotions and sunscreens.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Polygonum Aviculare Extract
- Botanical extract used as an emollient. No public irritancy or comedogenic data; monitor for botanical variability.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Magnesium Aluminium Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder for matte finish; fine particles need good dispersion to avoid caking.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Methylisothiazolinone
- Strong preservative; high allergy risk, EU restricted for leave-on products, high formulation risk
