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
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
