Formulation view Uses mineral oil, microcrystalline wax, and petrolatum for strong occlusion to prevent transepidermal water loss. Panthenol and witch hazel soothe, while glycerin and PEG enhance hydration. Preserved with phenoxyethanol. Suited for extremely dry or damaged skin. Factory note: stacked mineral occlusives may feel heavy; ester oils help adjust spreadability. Strict purification standards for mineral ingredients are required.

- Cera Microcristallina
- Mineral-derived microcrystalline wax, potent occlusive moisturizer; 1-3% significantly extends hydration, heavy texture.
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Lanolin
- Wool-derived lipid, excellent occlusive emollient; high sensitization rate (wool alcohols), caution for sensitive skin.
- Methyl Glucose Isostearate
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Dimer Dilinoleate
- Modified ester oil for silkiness/emollience; biocompatible, can act as a solvent.
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Sorbitol
- Polyol humectant with strong hygroscopy; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives; also a solvent or adjuster.
