Ingredients explained
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Lanolin
- Wool-derived lipid, excellent occlusive emollient; high sensitization rate (wool alcohols), caution for sensitive skin.
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Cetyl Esters
- Blended cetyl esters used as emollient skin conditioning agents to provide softness and occlusion.
- Benzophenone-3
- Not decoded yet
- Paraffinum Liquidum
- Mineral oil occlusive; high moisture retention but heavy feel, moderate comedogenicity, caution for acne-prone skin.
- Camphor
- Denaturant and fragrance with irritant and allergenic potential; strict concentration limits required for sensitive skin.
- Menthol
- Cooling and soothing agent at 0.5–2%; high levels may cause sensitivity or irritation, use caution around eyes and mucous membranes
- Vanillin
- Fragrance component; EU limit 0.85%, potential allergen, oxidation sensitive.
