Ingredients explained
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Cocoglycerides
- Coco-glycerides act as emulsifiers and skin conditioning agents; gentle, often used in soap-free formulations.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Cera
- Safflower seed wax for structure and gloss; balance with oils
- Aroma
- Blended fragrance; may contain EU-listed allergens, check for sensitizers in sensitive individuals.
- 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.
- Rubus Fruticosus Juice
- Not decoded yet
- 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.
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Ci 15850
- Synthetic dye, red 57; restricted to hair dyeing in EU, not for topical cosmetics.
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 42090
- Acid Blue 9 lake; for coloring and brow tints. Non-permanent hair dye, watch for lake precipitation and batch shade variance.
