Ingredients explained
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Glyceryl Triacetyl Ricinoleate
- Not decoded yet
- Cetyl Ricinoleate
- Plant-derived ester for emolliency and gloss; low irritancy and comedogenicity, suitable for dry skin.
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax/Candelilla Cera/Cire De Candelilla
- Candelilla wax, natural hardener/occlusive; mp 55-60°C, blend with other waxes for crystal form.
- Copernicia Cerifera Wax/Cera Carnauba/Cire De Carnauba
- Carnauba wax, plant wax; increases viscosity and shine, provides film-forming, typically non-comedogenic.
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
- Barium Sulfate
- Inert mineral filler and thickener; not absorbed by skin, avoid dust inhalation in powder processes
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- 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
- Red 7 Lake
- Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Red 6
- Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
- Red 22 Lake
- Synthetic dye for coloring; usage limits apply in oral products, monitor concentration in cosmetics
- Red 30 Lake
- Red 30 lake for color; water-insoluble, requires stable dispersion
- Yellow 6 Lake
- Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Red 33 Lake
- Water-soluble red dye lake for color; low concentrations used, watch for visual accumulation.
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
