Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire D'Abeille
- Beeswax emulsifier and thickener; animal-derived, low allergenicity but high concentrations may clog pores, requires compatibility testing.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Arginine
- Arginine for moisturizing/conditioning; amino acid, high biocompatibility, often used in blends.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Copernicia Cerifera Cera/Copernicia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Carnauba
- Botanical wax used for hardness and gloss
- Synthetic Wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Talc
- Inorganic mineral powder for texture and oil absorption; must be asbestos-free; fineness affects skin feel and safety, avoid inhalation.
- Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Candelilla
- Botanical wax; provides structure, hardness, and film-forming properties for cream structure and moisture barrier
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Hectorite
- Clay absorbent and viscosity controller; used in silicone-free hair products.
- Simethicone
- Silicone antifoam and conditioner; non-allergenic, smooth feel
- Microcristallina Cera/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcrystalline
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Hydrolyzed protein for film-forming and moisture; molecular weight limits penetration, check source for shellfish allergies
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Pantolactone
- Pantolactone, humectant; hydrolyzes to release panthenol, improves skin hydration, low level use, high safety
- Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer
- Hydrophobic wax for anti-caking; improves slip in powders and cushions
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Ferric Ferrocyanide
- Colorant (Prussian blue); verify heavy metal limits for cosmetic safety
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Chromium Hydroxide Green
- Green colorant used for product aesthetics; purely a pigment.
- Chromium Oxide Greens
- Green inorganic colorant for pigmentation; non-allergenic, used in color cosmetics
- Yellow Iron Oxide
- Inorganic yellow pigment for color and coverage; physically stable, generally non-irritating and non-comedogenic in cosmetics.
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
