Ingredients explained
- C11-12 Isoparaffin
- Light mineral oil solvent for spreadability; low irritancy.
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Cera Carnauba
- High-melting wax for structure and shine; use sparingly to avoid greasiness.
- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Tall Oil Glycerides
- Pulp by-product ester for emollience; verify source purity.
- Pentaerythrityl Hydrogenated Rosinate
- Film former for nail polish/hair spray providing gloss and hardness.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Tocopherol Acetate
- Tocopherol acetate antioxidant at 0.1–0.5%; oxidizes in biphasic systems, pair with BHT or nitrogen
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
