Ingredients explained
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Stearyl Heptanoate
- Lipophilic emollient and skin-conditioning agent; improves texture and reduces dryness; high levels may increase greasiness.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glyceryl Behenate
- Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Dimethicone Crosspolymer
- Crosslinked silicone polymer providing silkiness and viscosity control; for hair and skin; inert but hard to biodegrade.
- Glyceryl Behenate
- Emulsifier and thickener with emollient properties; high melting point, low comedogenicity.
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax
- Sunflower seed wax for thickness/filming; waxy texture, potential comedogenic at high levels.
- Acacia Decurrens Flower Wax
- Plant wax for emollience and film formation; blend with other waxes for melting point.
- Polyglycerin-3
- Not decoded yet
- Dipropylene Glycol
- Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG
- Boswellia Serrata Gum
- Not decoded yet
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide N3 for barrier repair; lipophilic, needs oil phase or emulsion, avoid high standalone use.
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer
- Rheology-modifying silicone polymer for suspension and feel; requires silicone-compatible system
