Formulation view Nourishing mascara formulated with water, stearic acid, and waxes for structure. Acrylate copolymers provide lasting curl and volume. Plant oils like jojoba condition lashes. Preservation utilizes phenoxyethanol and multiple paraben esters. Iron oxides add color. Suitable for daily wear. Note: Strict regulatory limits for ocular products apply; the multiplicity of preservatives requires careful compatibility checks to prevent eye irritation.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Copernicia Cerifera Cera Wax)
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Potassium Sorbate
- Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Rosa Moschata Seed Oil
- Rosehip seed oil, high in linoleic acid; emollient but heavy, avoid for oily/acne-prone skin.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Ethylhexyl Cocoate
- Coconut-derived ester, light emollient, low viscosity; mild, low comedogenic, oil-friendly
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- BHA
- Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA); oil-phase antioxidant. Use <0.05%. Controversial at high levels.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
