Formulation view Oil-in-water priming filter using cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone for silkiness. Hydrates with sodium hyaluronate and sea grape extract, while titanium dioxide and mica create a blurring effect. Factory observation: Balancing silicone and aqueous active ingredients is key; excessive siloxane can hinder powder adhesion. Optimizing silicone ratios ensures both slip resistance and long-lasting makeup performance.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract
- Prickly pear extract; traditional humectant/soother; no published irritant/comedogenic data
- Zingiber Officinale Root Extract
- Root extract for scent and toning; may irritate compromised skin.
- Sea Water
- Natural ingredient with salts; acts as solvent or humectant, high salt content may feel gritty
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Menthyl Lactate
- Menthyl lactate, cooling and fragrance agent, provides mild menthol sensation for refreshing
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Benzimidazole Diamond Amidoethyl Urea Carbamoyl Propyl Polymethylsilsesquioxane
- Modified polysiloxane carrier for pigment dispersion in opaque color cosmetics; hydrophobic, needs emulsification support
- 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
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Amyl Cinnamal
- Fragrance ingredient restricted in the EU; usage limits apply to minimize allergic contact dermatitis risk.
- Citral
- Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Ci 77007
- Mica-based colorant, restricted use; mineral origin, check heavy metal impurities compliance
