Prunus Persica (Peach) Kernel Oil Silica

PRU

8/10

Concern level

High concern

A composite cosmetic ingredient typically used as an oil-loaded silica. Silica functions as an absorbent, anti-caking, and texture-improving carrier, while peach kernel oil contributes emollience and slip. It is most often used in powders, balms, and oil-control or soft-focus formulas rather than as a standalone active.

Interactions

incompatible with: No specific problematic ingredient interactions are established; performance may be reduced in very high-water systems because silica loading can change dispersion and texture.

Risks & Warnings

Main concerns are mild dryness, dust-related eye irritation, and potential sensitivity in users reactive to plant oils or fine particulate powders. If the peach oil fraction is oxidized, odor or minor irritation may increase.
