Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax
- Carnauba wax for hardness/occlusion/film; plant-derived, confirm extraction purity
- Diatomaceous Earth
- Diatomaceous earth for oil absorption/opacification at 1–5%; high surface area, handle dust carefully.
- Ceteth-15
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Dioleth-8 Phosphate
- Anionic surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying; pH-sensitive, solubility increases at alkaline pH, check compatibility.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Sorbitan Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W systems; hydrophobic, requires co-emulsifiers, inert at high purity
- Bentonite
- Natural clay for oil absorption in masks or thickening; no allergenicity, ensure high purity batches
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- AMP-Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylates AMP copolymer film-former; monitor amine residues and pH
