Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Oryza Sativa Bran Wax
- Rice bran wax for conditioning and film formation; hydrophobic, low comedogenicity.
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Acacia Senegal Gum
- Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens
- Polybutene
- Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.
- Copernicia Cerifera Wax
- High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Polyester-4
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Sodium Nitrate
- Milding agent mainly in oral care (mouthwash/toothpaste); rare in cosmetics.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
