Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Lanolin Cera
- Not decoded yet
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Tridecyl Stearate
- Tridecyl stearate emollient; lightweight, moderate comedogenic
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- Tridecyl Trimellitate
- Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.
- Ceteareth-25
- Not decoded yet
- PEG-8 Beeswax
- Beeswax PEG derivative for emulsification and emollience; note PEG sensitivity and animal origin
- PEG-40 Castor Oil
- PEG-40 castor oil solubilizer/emulsifier; common ≤2%, low comedogenic risk.
- Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate
- Lightweight oil emulsifier providing non-greasy feel; dual function as emulsifier and emollient
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
- Tetrasodium EDTA
- Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Citronellol
- Citronellol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Geraniol
- Geraniol for fragrance; EU 26 allergen, labeling required above 0.001%.
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Ethylparaben
- Paraben preservative; EU restricted, watch total load and sensitive skin reactions
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Caramel
- Colorant for brown shades; some processes involve sulfites, check specs.
- Ci 19140
- Acid Yellow 23 lake; for coloring and hair dyeing. High water solubility and precipitation risk, pH control required.
