Ingredients explained
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.
- Quaternium-90 bentonite
- Modified clay for high-viscosity gels and powder suspensions; excessive use causes heavy texture
- Polypropylsilsesquioxane
- Propylsilsesquioxane, volatile silicone film former; smooths, low occlusion, very low comedogenic risk
- Cire D'abeille
- Not decoded yet
- Nylon-12
- Not decoded yet
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Sucrose acetate isobutyrate
- Sucrose acetate isobutyrate film former and plasticizer; provides gloss and protection, low sensitization.
- Propylene carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Ascorbyl Palmitate
- Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.
- Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate
- Emulsifier with hydrophilic properties; castor derivative, low sensitization risk.
- VP/Hexadecene Copolymer
- Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.
- Triethyl citrate
- Solvent/plasticizer at 1–10%; provides fresh feel, slight citrus scent
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Silica silylate
- Silylate silica for anticaking, defoaming, emulsion stabilization, film-forming; improves powder flow/texture
- Polybutene
- Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.
- CI 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Iron Oxides (CI 77491
- Not decoded yet
- CI 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- CI 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Red 7 Lake
- Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
- CI 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
- Red 6
- Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
- CI 45410
- Acid Red 9, a dye used in hair coloring; restricted to rinse-off hair dye with strict residue limits.
