The Girlcrush Highlighter contains a variety of ingredients designed to provide vibrant color payoff, long-lasting wear, and a smooth, luminous finish. Below is an explanation of the specific ingredients you listed:
Key Ingredients:
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
A pearlescent powder that adds shine and reflects light for a radiant glow. It gives the highlighter its shimmering effect.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
A silicone-based compound that acts as a base in cosmetic products. It helps give the highlighter a smooth texture and improves blendability. It also reduces tackiness and ensures the product glides on easily.
Phenyltrimethylsiloxane
Another type of silicone used to enhance the spreadability of the product and provide a soft, non-greasy feel.
Diisostearyl Malate
A versatile ingredient that acts as an emollient (skin-softening agent) and helps bind ingredients together. It also provides a subtle pearlescent effect.
Polydimethylsiloxane Copolymer
A modified silicone polymer that improves the texture of the product, making it smooth and lightweight.
CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide)
A widely used pigment that provides a white base for other colors. It helps create opacity and ensures even color distribution. It is also commonly used as a UV filter in some products, though its role here is primarily as a pigment.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
A plant-derived emollient (often from coconut oil) that hydrates the skin and helps improve the texture of the product by making it softer.
Polymethylsilsesquioxane
A spherical, non-penetrating silicone that provides a soft focus effect, blurring imperfections while adding a radiant glow.
Vinyl Dimethicone/Polymethicone Sesquioxane Crosspolymer
A crosspolymer that forms a flexible film on the skin, helping to lock in moisture and improve the product's wear time.
Magnesium Stearate
A common ingredient used as an anti-caking agent and emulsifier. It helps keep the powder formulation from clumping together and ensures even distribution of the pigment.
Magnesium Myristate
A derivative of magnesium stearate, it is often used as a smoothing agent and can help reduce the greasy feel of certain products.
CI 77400 (Iron Oxides)
Pigments that provide color to the product. They are commonly used in cosmetics for their versatility and ability to create both natural and bold tones.
CI 77491 (Iron Oxides)
Another iron oxide pigment used to add depth and richness to the highlighter's color.
Ethylhexyl Palmitate
A plant-derived ester that acts as an emollient, improving the texture of the product by making it softer and more spreadable.
Phenoxyethanol
A preservative commonly used in cosmetics to prevent microbial growth. It is also a fragrance ingredient in some cases but is fragrance-free in this formulation.
Triethoxyoctylsilane
A silicone-based compound that enhances the spreadability of the product and helps it adhere evenly to the skin for a smooth, even finish.
Tin Oxide (SnO₂)
A non-nano, inorganic pigment that adds opacity and can help improve the overall color payoff of the highlighter.
Silica
A common ingredient used as an anti-caking agent to ensure the powder formulation stays smooth and doesn't clump together.
Ethylhexylglycerin
A conditioning agent that helps improve the feel of the product by making it smoother and more comfortable on the skin. It is also a mild preservative in some cases.
General Notes:
Many of these ingredients are common in cosmetic products and help achieve the desired properties of a highlighter, such as smooth application, long wear, and vibrant color payoff.
The combination of silicones (e.g., PDMS, phenyltrimethylsiloxane) ensures that the product is lightweight, blends well, and provides a luminous finish without feeling heavy on the skin.
Pigments like titanium dioxide (CI 77891), iron oxides (CI 77400, CI 77491), and tin oxide provide color and opacity for bold, long-lasting results.
Ingredients like phenoxyethanol are mild preservatives that help extend the shelf life of the product.
If you have sensitive skin or are concerned about any specific ingredient, it’s always a good idea to consult with a dermatologist before using the product.
