Ingredients explained
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- 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.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Ozokerite
- Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Polybutene
- Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil
- Hemp seed oil, non-psychoactive, emollient for skin and hair; high linoleic acid, needs antioxidants
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Vanillin
- Fragrance component; EU limit 0.85%, potential allergen, oxidation sensitive.
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.
- C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters
- Botanical ester mixture for emollience and emulsification; deemed safe, non-comedogenic
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Lanolin Alcohol
- Wool wax alcohol, animal-derived emollient and emulsifier with rich, occlusive feel; strict purification removes sensitization, but animal origin must be labeled.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Saccharin
- Not decoded yet
- Sorbic Acid
- Preservative effective at low pH, often combined with sorbate salts; check regulatory limits
