Formulation view Oil-based lightweight lip oil. Uses hydrogenated polyisobutene and diisostearyl malate for a non-greasy feel, combined with shea and jojoba oils. Added silicates for viscosity control. Ideal for daily touch-ups. Factory observation: Multiple copolymers and color pigments require high-speed blending and defoaming precision during production.

Ingredients explained
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer for viscosity control; inert polymer with no known irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Punica Granatum Flower Extract
- Pomegranate flower extract for skin conditioning; use validated stable dosages
- Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer used as a thickener; chemically inert, no known skin irritation.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Microcrystalline Wax/Cera Microcristallina/Cire Microcristalline
- Microcrystalline wax thickener/occlusive; high melt point, add hot, heavy feel if overused
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Rubus Idaeus Seed Oil
- Raspberry seed oil; linoleic acid-rich emollient; oxidation-prone, requires antioxidants and light protection
- Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier for creams; oily feel, suitable for dry skin, control usage for oily skin
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499)
- Not decoded yet
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
- Red 7 Lake
- Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Yellow 6 Lake
- Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations
