Highlights

Free of alcoholFree of parabensFree of sulfatesFree of mineral oilFree of formaldehyde releasersContains PEGContains fragranceContains EU-26 allergensContains essential oilsContains animal-derivedContains silicones

Formulation view Powder-based priming lotion with silica for oil control, salicylic acid, and vitamin C for brightness. Lightweight texture with tea and citrus extracts. Ideal for oily or combination skin. Factory note: Uniform silica dispersion defines feel; stability of acidic actives in powder interstices is a process challenge, preventing migration and caking.

Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water/Eau

Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate

Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyhydroxystearate

Non-ionic emulsifier, mild and suitable for O/W or W/O systems; typical usage 1-5%

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Glycerin

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

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Silica

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

Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate

Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.

Sodium Chloride

Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Green tea extract for antioxidant/astringent; contains caffeine, possible irritation in sensitive skin.

Citrus Limon Fruit Extract

Lemon fruit extract for fragrance and occlusive moisturizing; contains furanocoumarins, photosensitivity caution advised.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract

Liquorice root extract for soothing and brightening; batch variability, watch polyphenol interactions

Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract

Hippophae rhamnoides extract, fragrance and skin conditioner; rich in vitamins E and C, watch photosensitivity and color stability.

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Caffeine

Active ingredient, 0.1–2%; promotes circulation, irritation risk at high concentration.

Ascorbic Acid

Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.

Ferulic Acid

Antioxidant, often combined with vitamin C and E; 0.5-2%, photolabile

Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil

Sweet orange peel essential oil, citrus aroma; photosensitive, be careful in daytime; irritating at high levels.

Caprylic/Capric Glycerides

C8/C10 glycerides, light emollient/emulsifier 0-20%; low comedogenic risk, light texture.

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Propylene Carbonate

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

Zein

Protein film former; contraindicated in corn-allergic users, hydrolysates less sensitizing

Silica Dimethyl Silylate

Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Zea Mays Starch

Corn starch for oil absorption and suspension; powder, hygroscopic, needs moisture control

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

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Titanium Dioxide

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