Formulation view Mineral oil and beeswax create a barrier, combined with glycyrrhetinic acid, polyols, and seaweed extracts. Emphasizes barrier repair and deep hydration. Ideal for very dry, damaged, or sensitive skin. Factory observation: Mineral oil purity is critical to avoid impurity risks; high occlusiveness requires caution for oily skin.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Beeswax
- Beeswax, natural thickener and film former; provides occlusive moisturization, natural honey scent, animal-derived, potential allergen
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid
- Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Sorbitan Sesquioleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for O/W or W/O systems; moderate emulsification power, often used with co-emulsifiers
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Mannitol
- Polyol humectant with binding/skin conditioning properties; high levels may cause osmotic irritation
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Rhamnose
- Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.
- Fructooligosaccharides
- Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky
- Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract
- Brown algae extract for hydration and film-forming; high loads may affect clarity.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- Sodium Pca
- Sodium PCA, NMF component, 1-10% humectant; salty/tacky at high levels.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
