Ingredients explained

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Cyclopentasiloxane

Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.

Methyl Trimethicone

Methyl trimethicone, light volatile silicone; non-comedogenic, good powder compatibility.

Propanediol

Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone

Phenyl trimethicone for anti-foaming and slip; silicone-based, silky feel

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

PEG-10 Dimethicone

Modified silicone for silky feel and shine; PEG structure aids O/W emulsification, used in hair and skin care.

Dimethicone

Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin

1,2-Hexanediol

Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives

PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone

PEG/PPG siloxane; emulsifier/thickener; low irrit, watch PEG total conc limits

Iron Oxide Yellow

Inorganic yellow pigment for product coloration; functions as a physical cover agent.

Cedrus Atlantica Bark Oil

Essential oil providing woody fragrance and skin conditioning; contains allergens, limited by III/122

Cananga Odorata Flower Oil

Ylang-ylang essential oil, natural fragrance; contains multiple allergens, restrict usage per EU regulations, avoid for sensitive skin

Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil

Botanical oil as fragrance and conditioner; contains allergens, dilute and test for sensitization

Jasminum Officinale Oil

Jasmine oil containing potent allergens (e.g., jasmine lactone); EU 26 allergen requiring mandatory labeling; high sensitization risk.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Magnesium Sulfate

Bulk agent at 0.1–1%; highly water-soluble, avoid high local concentration.

Polyglyceryl-3 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone

Water-soluble silicone conditioning agent providing smooth, non-greasy feel; suitable for both hair and skin

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Aluminum Hydroxide

Aluminum hydroxide for emollient/thickening; opacifier, used in antiperspirants, particulate risk.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Triethoxycaprylylsilane

Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.

Alumina

Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifier at 1–5%; mild type, suitable for sensitive skin formulas

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate

Titanium isostearate complex for UVB absorption and emulsification aid; photostable, low irritancy, low comedogenicity.

Adenosine

Skin conditioner at 0.1-1%; used for anti-aging and repair

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

Mild chelator replacing EDTA; water-soluble, very low irritation, stabilizes metal ions

Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate

Neopentyl glycol diethylhexanoate emollient; ester oil, medium viscosity feel regulator, low comedogenicity.

Glutathione

Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.

Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate

Cationic hyaluronic acid, 0.1–1%; water-soluble thickener and conditioning agent.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
