Formulation view Uses corn starch for oil absorption and suspension, combined with mineral pigments and titanium dioxide for coverage. Glycerin provides hydration, supported by a natural-based preservation system. Delivers a natural matte finish. Factory observation: contains carmine, caution advised for those with insect protein allergies; mineral pigments require heavy metal control.

Ingredients explained
- Zea Mays Starch
- Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Sodium Anisate
- Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- 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)
- Not decoded yet
- Red 7 Lake
- Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
- Yellow 6 Lake
- Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations
