Ingredients explained
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Boron nitride
- Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk
- Zinc Stearate
- Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.
- Octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate
- Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems
- Isodecyl neopentanoate
- Volatile dry ester for make-up/emulsions; fast-drying, non-greasy, seal to prevent weight loss.
- Lauroyl lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- 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.
- Stearoyl glutamic acid
- Amino acid surfactant for gentle cleansing; antagonizes cationic surfactants, suitable for sensitive skin
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder
- Tea polyphenol powder; exfoliation and antioxidants, grind size dictates abrasion
- Dehydroacetic Acid
- Broad-spectrum preservative for acidic and oil-based systems; has concentration limits, requires challenge testing.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Lycopodium Clavatum Extract
- Lycopodium clavatum extract, botanical with flavonoids; low irritation risk at typical levels.
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Imperata Cylindrica root extract
- Imperata root extract; traditional TCM ingredient for skin conditioning. No public data on irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Phytosphingosine
- Phytosphingosine barrier repair ingredient, 0.1–1%; water-soluble, good for dry skin.
- Ethyl linoleate
- Fatty acid ester emollient for dryness; prone to oxidation, requires light protection.
- Ethyl linolenate
- Not decoded yet
- Ethyl oleate
- Light emollient ester, fast absorption for oily skin; may contain fragrance traces
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides (CI 77491
- Not decoded yet
- CI 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- CI 77499)
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
