Highlights
Free of fragranceFree of parabensFree of sulfatesFree of formaldehyde releasersContains mineral oilContains siliconesContains alcoholContains essential oils
Formulation view O/W emulsion with salicylic and glycolic acids plus niacinamide for exfoliation and oil control. Mineral oil and dimethicone provide occlusion. Factory view: Acid combination requires strict pH control; mineral oil conflicts with acne-prone targets, use sparingly, avoid eyes.

Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Cetyl Alcohol
- Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.
- Isopropyl Myristate
- Light synthetic ester, fast-drying and non-greasy; high comedogenic risk, limit in acne-prone skin
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Steareth-2
- Not decoded yet
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Glycerine
- Workhorse humectant at 3-10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives, low irritancy.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Steareth-21
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glycolic Acid
- Glycolic acid for exfoliation; requires buffering at concentrations >10%, avoid combination with other acids.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Ethyl Alcohol
- Ethanol as solvent, penetration enhancer, and preservative booster; high levels can dry skin, use caution for sensitive types
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Echium Plantagineum Seed Oil
- Linoleic-rich seed oil; high oxidation risk, requires antioxidants and light protection to maintain stability
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Cardiospermum Halicacabum Flower/Leaf/Vine Extract
- Plant-derived skin-conditioning extract; used at low levels, stability must be verified.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Salicylic Acid
- Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.
- Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
- Ethyl ascorbic acid, lipophilic Vit C derivative, antioxidant/whitening; more stable than L-AA, for oil phases
- Triethanolamine
- Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation
