Ingredients explained

Water

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

Isododecane

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

Cyclopentasiloxane

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

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Dimethicone

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

Octyldodecanol

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

Polymethylsilsesquioxane

Silicone polymer for emolliency, matte effect, and suspension; used in foundations or powder suspensions, typical usage 1-5%, smooth skin feel.

Heptyl Undecylenate

Heptyl undecylenate, light emollient ester; fresh feel, non-greasy, low comedogenic risk

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone

Silicone surfactant, smooth and mild; regulates rheology and adds antistatic benefits

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Light emollient ester, non-greasy, improves product spreadability.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Boron Nitride

Flake-shaped inorganic filler for slip and bulk in powders; control particle size to minimize inhalation risk

PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone

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

Ozokerite

Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.

Disteardimonium Hectorite

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

Phenyl Trimethicone

Aromatic modified silicone for high gloss and occlusion; inert, non-volatile, may leave surface residue

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Extract

Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract

Botanical extract used as a skin conditioning agent

Curcuma Longa Root Extract

Turmeric root extract, contains curcumin, colorant/antioxidant; high doses may sensitize.

Colocasia Esculenta Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Natural humectant and soother with high water activity; requires preservative system, generally well-tolerated

Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Oil

Not decoded yet

Glycerin

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

Rosmarinyl Glucoside

Antioxidant glycoside from rosemary; stabilizes formulations with low irritation

Caffeyl Glucoside

Caffeoyl glucoside, water-soluble antioxidant and skin conditioner; protects formulation from oxidation.

Glycine Soja Oil

Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin

Oryza Sativa Germ Extract

Rice germ extract with vitamin E for moisturizing and repair.

Oryza Sativa Extract

Physical exfoliant and absorbent powder for cleansing and texture; abrasive particles, avoid high frequency on sensitive or compromised skin

Gallyl Glucoside

Gallate-derived glucoside as antioxidant and skin conditioner; use at low levels, avoid acidic matrix incompatibility.

Lavandula Angustifolia Oil

Fragrance essential oil, 0.1–1%; contains allergens, patch test required.

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Aromatic essential oil; contains allergens (citronellol, limonene), requires labeling.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate

Bio-fermented filtrate for antimicrobial and anti-dandruff effects; assess individual variability, avoid in known allergy.

1,2-Hexanediol

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

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Isostearic Acid

Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Alumina

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate

Mild emulsifier for low-foam systems; suitable for sensitive skin.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Trimethylsiloxysilicate

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

Trihydroxystearin

Polyol thickener and humectant; water-soluble, improves viscosity and basic conditioning

Polyhydroxystearic Acid

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

Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate

Mild emulsifier for O/W systems; 1-3%, avoid cationic surfactants

Propylene Carbonate

Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
