Ingredients and why they matter
- Aqua / Water / Eau — base solvent for skin-friendly formulas, helping to dissolve and distribute ingredients evenly.
- Glycerin — humectant that draws moisture to the skin surface for hydration without greasiness.
- Dimethicone — lightweight silicone that forms a protective barrier, smoothing texture and helping skin feel matte.
- Isocetyl Stearate — emollient that nourishes while contributing to a comfortable, non-greasy finish.
- Alcohol Denat. — helps cleansing action; use as directed and avoid overuse on sensitive areas.
- Silica and Silica Silicate — absorbents that help control shine and enhance a matte appearance.
- Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer — thickener and texture enhancer that supports spreadability and a smooth feel.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer — thickening agent that stabilizes texture for even application.
- Tocopherol — Vitamin E provides antioxidant support and helps maintain skin comfort.
- Salicylic Acid — traditionally included for gentle exfoliation and pore-clearing action (in line with oil-control benefits).
- Parfum / Fragrance — adds scent; if sensitive, consider patch testing.
