Formulation view Cream mascara using glyceryl stearate and waxes for stability, with castor oil for slip. PVA film-former enhances lift and hold. Tocopherol and ascorbyl palmitate act as antioxidants. Micas and inorganic pigments provide color. Preserved with phenoxyethanol and sodium dehydroacetate. Suitable for daily lengthening looks. Sensitive eye areas should monitor tolerance to preservatives and waxes.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Copernicia Cerifera Wax
- High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog
- Synthetic Beeswax
- Synthetic wax for binding/emulsion stability; replaces natural wax, lower allergenic risk
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Polyvinyl Alcohol
- Film/viscosity agent for masks/cleansers; water-soluble, forms flexible film
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Aminomethyl Propanol
- pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases
- Hydrogenated Coconut Oil
- Saturated fat, high occlusion; high melting point, heavy feel, avoid on oily skin.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Cellulose
- Plant-derived thickener at 0.1–1%; requires full hydration, poor cationic compatibility
- Gardenia Taitensis Flower
- 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.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Aluminum Powder
- Inorganic colorant; ensure fine milling; mechanical irritation risk; inhalation hazard.
- Bismuth Oxychloride
- White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Manganese Violet
- Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Red 40 Lake
- Water-insoluble dye for emulsions; monitor batch color consistency, potential allergen for sensitive individuals
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Ultramarines
- Inorganic colorant for blue/purple shades; contains trace selenates, requires compliance with heavy metal limits.
