Formulation view Heavy repair cream using mineral oil, microcrystalline wax, and shea butter for strong occlusion, with glycerin for hydration. Core active is 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (10-HDA), aided by tocopherol. Lacks standard preservatives, relying on high-purity mineral oil and BHT for stability. Suited for extremely dry or compromised barriers; factory perspective stresses strict control of mineral oil purity to prevent carcinogenic impurities.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Peg-12
- Not decoded yet
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- 10-Hydroxydecenoic Acid
- Not decoded yet
- Bht
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Glyceryl Linoleate
- Glyceryl linoleate; emulsifier and emollient; oxidation-prone, requires antioxidants
- Glyceryl Linolenate
- Emollient/moisturizer; potential allergen, caution in sensitive skin
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Sodium Acetate
- Sodium acetate buffer for pH adjustment; sometimes acts as mild fragrance, common in lotions and washes
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
