Ingredients explained

Coco-caprylate/Caprate

Lightweight mid-chain ester, quick spreading, suitable for oily skin, non-comedogenic.

C12-15 alkyl benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Sucrose acetate isobutyrate

Sucrose acetate isobutyrate film former and plasticizer; provides gloss and protection, low sensitization.

Cera Microcristallina/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcristalline

Microcrystalline wax, mineral derived, occlusive, non-comedogenic.

Polymethyl Methacrylate

PMMA for thickening, suspension, and film; micro-size powder carrier, very low irritation

Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate

Modified starch absorbent at 1–10%; for powder products, oil-absorbing without heavy feel

Octyldodecyl neopentanoate

Ester emollient; light oil feel; low irrit, low comed, good for fresh systems

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Lauroyl lysine

Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid

Low-MW humectant with superior penetration vs high-MW; 0.1-0.5% typical, hygroscopic, store dry to prevent clumping.

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase

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.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Polymethylsilsequioxane

Not decoded yet

HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer

Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Propylene carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels

Calcium Sodium Borosilicate

Fluorphlogopite; plate-like filler and thickener. For powders and creams, improves texture and coverage.

Synthetic fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Calcium Aluminium Borosilicate

Not decoded yet

Tin oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
