Ingredients explained

CI 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Undecane

Undecane; light aliphatic hydrocarbon emollient; high volatility, pair with occlusives, flammable

Tridecane

Tridecane, a long-chain alkane acting as emollient and solvent; petrochemical-derived, inert and low toxicity.

Mica

Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required

Copernicia Cerifera Cera

Carnauba wax, viscosity and film; high melt point, heat-stable, for creams.

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin

Pentaclethra Macroloba Seed Oil

Pentaclethra macroloba seed oil for emollient skin/hair care; occlusive lipid

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Sodium stearoyl lactylate

Mild emulsifier/stabilizer for O/W; control usage to prevent viscosity issues

Jojoba esters

Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.

Polyhydroxystearic acid

Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.

Lecithin

Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.

Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter

Theobroma grandiflorum seed butter, an occlusive emollient; heavy texture, higher comedogenic risk, best for body.

Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil

Mauritia flexuosa fruit oil; rich in palmoleic and unsaturated fatty acids; moisturizes and repairs barrier; heavy oil, requires emulsification.

Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil

Euterpe oleifera fruit oil; rich in oleic and palmitic acids for conditioning

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Ascorbyl Palmitate

Ascorbyl palmitate, lipophilic Vit C ester, antioxidant; oxidizes, needs light/air protection.

Citric Acid

Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH

Helianthus Annuus Seed Flour

Not decoded yet

CI 77491

Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.

CI 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.

CI 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
