Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

Disiloxane

Low-viscosity silicone for defoaming and slip; non-comedogenic, volatile, for light formulas.

Myristyl Trisiloxane

Not decoded yet

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Boron Nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Zinc Stearate

Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Polysilicone-11

Not decoded yet

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.

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

Talc

Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.

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.

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Not decoded yet

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Solanum Lycopersicum Leaf Cell Culture Extract

Tomato leaf cell culture extract; antioxidant conditioning

Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract

Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data

Nicotiana Sylvestris Leaf Cell Culture

Tobacco cell culture with plant proteins; no traditional allergenic risk, monitor batch consistency

Opuntia Ficus Indica Leaf Cell Culture Extract

Not decoded yet

Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate

High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

Ci 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
