Ingredients explained

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.

Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer

Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Kaolin

Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119

Hydroxystearic/Linolenic/Oleic Polyglycerides

Not decoded yet

Microcrystalline Wax

Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic

Phenylpropyldimethylsiloxysilicate

Silicone polymer for slip; 0.5–5%, non-volatile, low allergenicity, suits oil phases, pair with emulsifying silicones

Quaternium-90 Bentonite

Modified clay for high-viscosity gels and powder suspensions; excessive use causes heavy texture

Dimethicone

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

Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer

Butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer used as a thickener; chemically inert, no known skin irritation.

Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer

Ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer for viscosity control; inert polymer with no known irritancy or comedogenicity.

Glycerin

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

Hydrogen Dimethicone

Hydrogenated dimethicone for film-forming and slip; low volatility, rich feel for dry skin

Tocopherol

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

Propylene Carbonate

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

Ricinus Communis Oil

Castor oil, high viscosity; high occlusion/comedogenic risk, oxidation prone

Glyceryl Caprylate

Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Silica

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

Glyceryl Undecylenate

Light ester emollient with silk-like, spreadable feel; common carrier for UV filters, good silicone compatibility

Trihydroxystearin

Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning

Panthenol

Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery

Amorphophallus Konjac Root Powder

Konjac root powder for gentle exfoliation and absorption; particle size critical to avoid friction.

Sodium Hyaluronate

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

Black Iron Oxide

Black iron oxide colorant, non-irritating; powder settling/dispersibility needed, low concentration use

Blue 1 Lake

Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit

D&C Red 27 Al Lake

Not decoded yet

Iron Oxides Iron Oxides

Colorant for red/black/yellow tones, aids physical SPF; ensure homogeneity to prevent settling.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Red 27 Al Lake

Not decoded yet

Red 33 Lake

Water-soluble red dye lake for color; low concentrations used, watch for visual accumulation.

Red 4

Synthetic dye for coloration; use within legal limits.

Red 6 Lake

Red Lake 6 pigment; low water solubility, use as paste or sifted powder, monitor pH stability.

Red 7 Lake

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

Red Iron Oxide

Iron oxide red, mineral pigment for color; inert, no significant irritation or sensitization.

Titanium Dioxide

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

Yellow 5 Lake

Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions

Yellow Iron Oxide

Inorganic yellow pigment for color and coverage; physically stable, generally non-irritating and non-comedogenic in cosmetics.
