Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Copernicia Cerifera Wax
- High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax
- Carnauba wax for hardness/occlusion/film; plant-derived, confirm extraction purity
- Acrylates Crosspolymer
- Acrylates crosspolymer; absorbent and suspending agent
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Steareth-21
- Not decoded yet
- Cocos Nucifera Oil
- Occlusive moisturizing oil at 1–10%; highly comedogenic, use with caution for oily skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract
- Giant kelp extract; moisturizing polysaccharides; ocean theme, check for marine allergies.
- Sodium Dehydroacetate
- Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Hexylene Glycol
- Polyol solvent and humectant with penetration enhancement; limit concentration to avoid irritation, no specific allergen tag
- Iron Oxide/Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
