Ingredients explained
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Ceresin
- Mineral wax for thickening, film-forming, and emulsion stabilization; highly occlusive, non-allergenic
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Daucus Carota Sativa Seed Oil
- Plant seed oil with antioxidants; may have natural fragrance, low photosensitizing potential
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil
- Nutrient-rich emollient with Vit E; low irritancy but relevant for gluten-sensitive; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Wrightia Tinctoria Leaf Oil
- Not decoded yet
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
