Ingredients explained
- Hydrogenated Polydecene
- Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier; PEG-based; prone to oil contamination.
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone
- Phenyl trimethicone for anti-foaming and slip; silicone-based, silky feel
- Synthetic Wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Cera Microcristallina
- Mineral-derived microcrystalline wax, potent occlusive moisturizer; 1-3% significantly extends hydration, heavy texture.
- Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Wax
- Hydrogenated microcrystalline wax for high-melting-point film and occlusion in creams and wax-based products; non-comedogenic but heavy feel
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil
- Grapeseed oil, lightweight emollient and antioxidant; high linoleic acid, suitable for oily and combination skin.
- Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer
- Micro-resin for abrasion; non-biodegradable; microplastic restrictions apply.
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Ethylhexyl Dimethoxybenzylidene Dioxoimidazolidine Propionate
- Not decoded yet
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Dimethoxy Di-P-Cresol
- Antioxidant additive (often associated with BHT or similar phenolics); used in trace amounts for stability.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Phytosteryl/Behenyl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate
- Amino-acid ester for emulsification and conditioning; mild, no public comedogenic data
- Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate
- Ester emollient 1-5%; non-comedogenic, silky, compatible with sunscreens
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Lauroyl Lysine
- Lauroyl lysine, amino-acid surfactant derivative, mild foaming; often blended to lower irritation.
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Ci 15850
- Synthetic dye, red 57; restricted to hair dyeing in EU, not for topical cosmetics.
