Decorté Loose Powder Translucent Setting Powder ingredients, decoded
What Decorté Loose Powder Translucent Setting Powder is mostly made of, which ingredients do the work and what to watch for — based on the ingredient list the brand publishes.
Ultra-fine translucent setting powder said to lock makeup in place with a soft, radiant matte finish while skin-care ingredients keep it from feeling dry.
What it targets
Based on which ingredients are in it, how high up the list they are, and whether they are key actives.
Also listed, but probably in too small an amount to do its usual job, so not counted above: Zinc Oxide.
Worth knowing
- Contains fragrance or essential oils (Fragrance). Skip it if fragrance irritates your skin.
- Fragrance allergens listed: Citronellol, Geraniol. In the EU these must be named when above 0.001% in leave-on or 0.01% in rinse-off products.
- Alcohol appears at #14, lower down the list, so the amount is likely small.
What most of it is made of
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane CrosspolymerSilicone
- Synthetic FluorphlogopiteThickener / texture
- SilicaThickener / texture
- PolymethylsilsesquioxaneSilicone
- Styrene/dvb CrosspolymerThickener / texture
1% line: from Chlorphenesin (#27) onward, ingredients are probably at 1% or less. Chlorphenesin is limited to 0.3% in the EU, and ingredients at 1% or less may be listed in any order. Products made only for other markets can use more.
