Hyntoor’s Two Color Eyeshadows balance pigment payoff and skincare-conscious formulation. While all variants share a smooth, blendable base, differences in colorants and additives cater to diverse preferences—from everyday neutrals to high-impact metallics. The inclusion of nourishing oils and antioxidants elevates these shadows above traditional makeup, making them ideal for users seeking both drama and care.
Structural Integrity: Beyond Pigmentation
Advanced Binders & Texture Engineering
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite: A lab-created mica alternative that delivers high-reflective shimmer without ethical concerns (no natural mica mining). Its plate-like structure scatters light multidirectionally, creating a "3D glow" effect.
- Dimethicone/Phenyl Trimethicone: These silicones form a breathable, water-resistant film that locks pigments in place while allowing natural skin respiration. Unlike older silicones, they avoid clogging pores.
- Magnesium Stearate: Acts as a cohesion agent, ensuring even pigment distribution and preventing "muddy" blending. Its lamellar structure mimics skin lipids, enhancing adhesion.
Adaptive Emollience
- Diisostearyl Malate: A branched ester that provides sheer, buildable coverage without weighing down the lid. Its liquid-to-powder transition ensures seamless layering.
- Jojoba & Argan Oils: These oils mimic the skin’s sebum, balancing hydration without exacerbating oiliness. Jojoba’s wax esters reinforce the skin barrier, while argan’s squalene precursors boost elasticity.
Skin Health: Eyelid-Specific Care
Antioxidant Defense
- Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): Stabilizes the lipid matrix of the stratum corneum, protecting against lipid peroxidation caused by UV/blue light. Critical for delicate eyelid skin, which is 40% thinner than facial skin.
- Squalane (in AI08#, AI10#, 100#): A biomimetic lipid that integrates into the skin’s barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by up to 30%. Ideal for mature or dry lids.
Anti-Irritant Properties
- Lauroyl Lysine: Derived from lysine and lauric acid, this amino acid-coated powder reduces friction during application, minimizing micro-tears in sensitive skin.
- Aluminum Hydroxide: Buffers pH fluctuations (common with vibrant pigments) to a skin-friendly ~5.5, preventing irritation from acidic/basic residues.
Sensory & Performance Excellence
Weightless Comfort
- Zea Mays (Corn) Starch: A microporous starch that absorbs sebum while maintaining a velvety texture. Its hollow structure traps oil without drying, ideal for oily lids.
- Silica Spheres: Engineered to <10μm, these particles diffuse light to blur fine lines and crepey texture, acting as an optical "soft focus" filter.
Longevity Redefined
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane: A coupling agent that chemically bonds pigments to silicones, ensuring 12-hour wear even in humid conditions. Resists transfer better than traditional primers.
- Synthetic Wax Network: Forms a thermoresponsive matrix that softens with body heat, allowing effortless blending, then re-solidifies to lock pigments in place.
Color Science: Precision & Versatility
Adaptive Pigments
- Iron Oxides (CI 77491/77492/77499): Surface-treated with silicone resins to enhance color fidelity, preventing oxidation-induced fading (common in reds/browns).
- CI 77007 (Ultramarine Blue): Encapsulated in acrylic copolymers to prevent interaction with oils, which can shift its pH and alter hue.
Multidimensional Effects
- Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate: Coated with titanium dioxide for interference pigments that shift from gold to pink depending on angle. Used in duochrome shades (e.g., 020#).
- CI 73360 (Red 30): A vibrant, blue-based red stabilized with aluminum stearate, avoiding the carmine allergenicity common in red eyeshadows.
Ethical & Safety Innovations
- Talc Reimagined: Hyntoor uses pharmaceutical-grade talc (hydrated magnesium silicate), purified via micronization to remove asbestos-risk impurities. Its platelet structure fills uneven skin texture.
- Vegan Colorants: Replaces carmine (crushed beetles) with synthetic lakes (e.g., CI 15850) and mineral pigments, catering to ethical consumers.
- Microplastic-Free: Relies on silica and plant starch instead of polyethylene for texture, aligning with EU sustainability directives.
Specialized Variants
For Mature Lids (AI08#, 100#)
- Squalane + Polymethicone: Combats crepeiness by plumping fine lines (squalane) and creating a smooth canvas (polymethicone).
- Low-Pigment Density: Minimizes settling into wrinkles while maintaining opacity.
For Bold Looks (025#, AI11#)
- CI 45410 (Red 28 Lake): A fluorescent pink stabilized with barium salts for high-impact, Instagram-ready color.
- CI 77000 (Aluminum Powder): Millied to 1-5μm flakes for a molten metal effect, safer than larger glitter particles.
For Sensitive Eyes (004#, 005#)
- Fragrance-Free: Avoids common allergens like limonene or linalool.
- Methicone Barrier: Forms a protective layer between pigments and skin, reducing direct contact irritation.
Whom for?
- Contact Lens Wearers: Non-migrating formula avoids particle irritation.
- Eczema-Prone Lids: Jojoba oil’s anti-inflammatory properties soothe compromised barriers.
- Makeup Artists: Consistent texture across shades allows seamless gradient work.
Caveats
- Not Waterproof: While water-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture may degrade the silicone film.
- No SPF: Requires pairing with UV-protective primers for daytime use.
