Ingredients explained

Water/Aqua/Eau

Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.

Dimethicone

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

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Triethylhexanoin

Light ester for non-greasy feel and fragrance; low allergenicity, high levels can act as solvent

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Isododecane

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

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

PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate

W/O emulsifier for fatty acids; contains PEG, verify preservative compatibility.

Propylene Carbonate

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

Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant at 1–5%; for hair/cleansing, provides smoothness

Tocopherol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

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

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.

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Triethoxysilylethyl Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Silane-modified silicone enhancing adhesion to skin; silicone-based conditioner

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate

Titanium isostearate complex for UVB absorption and emulsification aid; photostable, low irritancy, low comedogenicity.

Silica

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

Galactoarabinan

Gum arabic polysaccharide; film-forming humectant; highly soluble.

Glycerin

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

Glyceryl Polyacrylate

Water-soluble film former at 1–5%; light feel, soluble in polyols, non-occlusive

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Collagen

Amino acid surfactant for gentle cleansing; covalently grafted with collagen, anti-static, ideal for damaged hair

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Iron Oxides (Ci 77491

Not decoded yet

Ci 77492

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

Ci 77499)

Not decoded yet

Red 7 Lake

Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required

Titanium Dioxide

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