Ingredients explained

Diisostearyl Malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

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

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil

Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2

Not decoded yet

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Trioctyldodecyl Citrate

Polyol ester for emollience and texture; low comedogenic, good for light formulas.

Polybutene

Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.

Silica

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

Ozokerite

Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.

Euphorbia Cerifera Wax\Candelilla Cera\Cire De Candelilla

Provides viscosity, gloss, and structure; can be occlusive, monitor high usage for comedogenic risk.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate

Synthetic powder filler for smooth feel and coverage; inert.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Squalane

Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Cocos Nucifera Oil

Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.

Glycine Soja Seed Extract

Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.

Hordeum Vulgare Extract\Extrait D'Orge

Cereal extract providing humectant proteins and amino acids; check for cereal allergies.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.

Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil

Raspberry seed oil; linoleic acid-rich emollient; oxidation-prone, requires antioxidants and light protection

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

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

Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract

Wheat germ extract, nutrient-rich; contains gluten, test for sensitivity.

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Ceramide NG

Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin

Tribehenin

Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
