Common Ingredients and Their Functions:
Water: Acts as the base solvent in the formula.
Butylene Glycol: A humectant and solvent that helps retain moisture and improves product texture.
Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate / Calcium Sodium Borosilicate: Mineral particles that provide shimmer and light-reflecting properties.
Acrylates Copolymer: A film-forming agent that helps the product adhere to the skin and provides long-lasting wear.
CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide): A white pigment used for opacity and brightness. Also provides some UV protection.
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite: A synthetic mica that adds shimmer and sparkle to the product.
Triethanolamine: A pH adjuster used to stabilize the formula.
Silica: Helps absorb excess oil and provides a smooth, matte finish.
Phenoxyethanol: A preservative to prevent microbial growth.
Caprylyl Glycol: A moisturizing agent and preservative booster.
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil: An emulsifier that helps mix oil and water-based ingredients.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate): An antioxidant that protects the skin and provides nourishment.
Ethylhexylglycerin: A skin-conditioning agent and preservative booster.
Tin Oxide: Adds opacity and helps create a smooth, even finish.
Triethoxycaprylylsilane: A binding agent that helps ingredients adhere to the skin.
CI 77491 (Iron Oxides): Provides color (brown/red tones).
CI 19140 (Yellow 5 Lake): A synthetic colorant for yellow hues.
CI 42090 (Blue 1 Lake): A synthetic colorant for blue hues.
Polybutylene Terephthalate: A plastic polymer often used in glitter or shimmer formulations.
Key Features of These Formulas: Shimmer and Sparkle: Ingredients like synthetic fluorphlogopite, calcium aluminum borosilicate, and tin oxide provide a luminous, glittery finish.
Long-Lasting Wear: Acrylates copolymer and film-forming agents ensure the product stays put.
Hydration and Smoothness: Butylene glycol and tocopheryl acetate help keep the skin moisturized and smooth.
Vibrant Color: Pigments like CI 77891, CI 77491, and synthetic colorants (e.g., CI 19140, CI 42090) provide a range of shades.
Potential Concerns:
Triethanolamine: Can cause irritation in sensitive skin.
Phenoxyethanol: A preservative that may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Synthetic Colorants: Some people may prefer to avoid synthetic dyes due to sensitivity or personal preference.
Suitable For:
Makeup Lovers: Ideal for those who enjoy shimmery, glittery, or metallic eye looks.
All Skin Types: Generally safe for most skin types, but patch-test if you have sensitive skin.
