Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Lauryl/myristyl Benzoate

Not decoded yet

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Silica

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

Glycerin

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

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

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

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone

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

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.

Quaternium-90 bentonite

Modified clay for high-viscosity gels and powder suspensions; excessive use causes heavy texture

Sorbitan sesquioleate

Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers

Diisostearyl malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Sodium chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity

Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.

Propylene carbonate

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

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.

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Tocopheryl Acetate

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

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

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.
