The comedogenic column only shows scores with a published source. A blank means "no public source", not "non-comedogenic".
Ingredients explained
Each note carries its evidence level: C comes from official inventories (NMPA names, CosIng functions, annex restrictions); E is AI inference nobody has checked yet — treat it as a candidate. How we grade evidence →
- Isododecane
- Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.B · Third-party verified
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.B · Third-party verified
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.B · Third-party verified
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.B · Third-party verified
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.B · Third-party verified
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skinB · Third-party verified
- Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
- Synthetic oil providing slip; large molecule, low penetration, non-comedogenic, suitable for dry or rough skin.B · Third-party verified
- Sorbitan Sesquioleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiersB · Third-party verified
- Trimethylsiloxysilicate
- Silicate powder, oil-absorbing emollient; insoluble, high levels feel powdery.B · Third-party verified

- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levelsB · Third-party verified
- PEG-40 Stearate
- Water-soluble emulsifier for O/W; mild cleansing, high levels may be comedogenic, caution for sensitive skin.B · Third-party verified
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.B · Third-party verified
