Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Ceteth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Acetylated Lanolin
- Animal-derived acetylated lanolin occlusive; high sensitization risk (lanolin allergy), strict control or replacement needed.
- Cetyl Acetate
- Not decoded yet
- Shea Butter
- Natural butter providing emollient and occlusive moisturizing; used as emollient and emulsifier.
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Formaldehyde-releasing preservative (V/33 limit); monitor cumulative formaldehyde with fragrances.
