Ingredients explained
- Water/Eau
- Water as base solvent; no irritation, but requires preservatives to prevent microbial growth.
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Copernicia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Carnauba
- Natural plant wax for hardness and gloss; low irritation, suitable for makeup
- Polyacrylate-21
- Not decoded yet
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Oryza Sativa Bran Wax
- Rice bran wax for conditioning and film formation; hydrophobic, low comedogenicity.
- Steareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Acacia Senegal Gum
- Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens
- Fragrance/Parfum
- Fragrance mixture for odor; complex composition with potential allergens, use with caution in sensitive or children's products.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Steareth-2
- Not decoded yet
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Trideceth-6 Phosphate
- Non-ionic surfactant for solubilization and emulsification; low irritation, no public comedogenic data
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter
- Plant oil for emollience and conditioning; high lipid content, pair with emulsifiers
- Astrocaryum Tucuma Seed Butter
- Tucuma nut butter for skin emollience; no comedogenic data
- Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter
- Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
