Formulation view Formulated with isododecane as the solvent base, paired with hydrogenated styrene copolymer for film formation, ensuring a dry, silky feel. Silica powders manage oil control and matte finish, while mineral oil provides occlusion. Inorganic pigments offer color. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol. Ideal for combination to oily skin seeking matte longevity. Formulator note: The high volatile solvent ratio balances the dryness of silylated silica, creating a lightweight, oil-free texture that prevents caking while maintaining a soft-focus matte effect.

Ingredients explained
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.
- Hydrogenated Styrene/Isoprene Copolymer
- Hydrogenated styrene/isoprene copolymer for viscosity control; film-forming polymer, generally inert and non-comedogenic.
- Paraffinum Liquidum
- Mineral oil occlusive; high moisture retention but heavy feel, moderate comedogenicity, caution for acne-prone skin.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Sorbitan Sesquioleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
