Ingredients explained
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Zinc Stearate
- Powder slip and dispersing agent for cosmetic powders; insoluble in water/oil.
- Kaolin
- Kaolin absorbent and bulk for powders/masks; check for heavy metals and comply with EU colorant limits IV/119
- Magnesium Carbonate
- Magnesium carbonate absorbent/binder/bulk/colorant; note limitation IV/139 on usage.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Isostearyl Neopentanoate
- Isostearyl neopentanoate; ester-based emulsion stabilizer and humectant; light texture, improves spreadability.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate
- Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- 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.
- Iron Oxides

- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Chromium Hydroxide Green
- Green colorant used for product aesthetics; purely a pigment.
- Chromium Oxide Greens
- Green inorganic colorant for pigmentation; non-allergenic, used in color cosmetics
- Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide
- Inorganic pigment, blue 1; EU limit 0.1%, prohibited in aerosols, excellent dispersion.
- Ferric Ferrocyanide
- Colorant (Prussian blue); verify heavy metal limits for cosmetic safety
- Manganese Violet
- Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
- Red 6
- Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
- Red 7
- Synthetic colorant for coloring; may cause pigmentation, use caution in sensitive skin
