Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate
- Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.
- Methyl Trimethicone
- Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.
- Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer
- Silicone/PEG crosspolymer for film forming and viscosity; low irritation; PEG debate at high conc
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- C30-45 Alkyl Methicone
- C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone; high-viscosity silicone providing intense occlusion and slip. Used in premium skincare and base makeup.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- C30-45 Olefin
- C30-45 Olefin; long-chain hydrocarbon emollient and viscosity modifier. Provides mineral oil-like occlusion with low sensitization risk.
- Trisiloxane
- Used as anti-foaming and lubricant; provides silkiness, used at low levels.
- PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone
- PEG-modified silicone with emulsifying and conditioning properties; ensure low dioxane levels in finished goods.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Zinc
- Usually present as oxide derivatives for SPF or anti-inflammatory; elemental zinc is cytotoxic and prohibited
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate
- Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone
- Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits
- Hexyl Laurate
- Light ester emollient for silky feel; 1-5%, monitor oxidative stability
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone
- PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Copper Powder
- Copper powder; metallic colorant, antimicrobial; oxidizes, requires sealed packaging.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
