Formulation view Esters like tridecyl stearate create a rich base, with silica providing a matte, oil-absorbing finish. Coconut oil and glycols adjust texture, preserved by phenoxyethanol. Suited for dry skin post-exfoliation or daily care. Factory observation: High ester content requires monitoring for comedogenic risk, while silica addition levels significantly impact suspension stability and tactile smoothness.

Ingredients explained
- Water\Aqua\Eau
- Solvent and diluent; the base for most aqueous formulations.
- Tridecyl Stearate
- Tridecyl stearate emollient; lightweight, moderate comedogenic
- Tridecyl Trimellitate
- Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.
- Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate
- Lightweight oil emulsifier providing non-greasy feel; dual function as emulsifier and emollient
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
- Hexyldecyl Stearate
- Hexyldecyl stearate, light emollient for silky feel, fast-evaporating. Blends with silicones; low comedogenicity.
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate
- Gentle amphoteric surfactant; strong foaming and cleansing, low irritation, suits sensitive formulations
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Oleth-10 Phosphate
- Oleth-10 phosphate, amphiphilic surfactant for solubilization/emulsification. Low irritation, but may strip skin lipids.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
