Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Cyclohexasiloxane
- Volatile cyclic silicone evaporating without residue; ensure compliance with EU limits on cyclic polydimethylsiloxanes, use octamer
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Polypropylsilsesquioxane
- Propylsilsesquioxane, volatile silicone film former; smooths, low occlusion, very low comedogenic risk
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer
- Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- PEG-modified silicone with emulsifying and conditioning properties; ensure low dioxane levels in finished goods.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- 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.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid
- Chelating agent to stabilize metal ions; often paired with antioxidants for system stability, used at low levels
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
