Formulation view Mascara using synthetic beeswax and paraffin for structure, acrylic copolymer for film, acacia gum for thickening, and seed oils for conditioning. Preserved with potassium sorbate and sodium dehydroacetate. Suitable for daily wear. Factory insight notes the water-oil dual-phase system, requiring precise control of wax melting points and polymer film strength.

Ingredients explained

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Synthetic Beeswax

Synthetic wax for binding/emulsion stability; replaces natural wax, lower allergenic risk

Paraffin

Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer

Film-forming and opacifying copolymer; provides a durable, non-tacky surface layer.

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Stearic Acid

Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel

Oryza Sativa Bran Wax

Rice bran wax for conditioning and film formation; hydrophobic, low comedogenicity.

Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.

Acacia Senegal Gum

Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Copernicia Cerifera Wax

High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog

Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil

Hemp seed oil, non-psychoactive, emollient for skin and hair; high linoleic acid, needs antioxidants

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Polybutene

Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.

Vp/Eicosene Copolymer

Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

PVP

Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Sweet almond oil, light emollient; suitable for sensitive skin, caution for nut allergies.

Trimethyl Pentanyl Diisobutyrate

Trimethyl pentane diisobutylate; plasticizer and solvent; improves product flexibility; low toxicity, no known allergen data.

Ethylhexylglycerin

Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel

Sodium Laureth-12 Sulfate

Anionic sulfate surfactant for cleansing/foaming; strong foamer but can be stripping; lower concentration or blend for sensitive skin.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Tetrasodium EDTA

Chelator removing metal ions to enhance antioxidant and preservative efficacy; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, no direct skincare function.

Aminomethyl Propanol

pH buffer at 0.1–1%; irritating at high levels, avoid direct mixing with strong acids/bases

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Sodium Dehydroacetate

Sodium dehydroacetate, preservative <0.5%; restricted for eye, children, and lip use.

Ci 77499

Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
