Ingredients explained
- Polyisobutene
- Inert film former and occlusive; increases viscosity, slippery feel, used in lipsticks
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride
- Blended triglycerides providing slip and occlusion; mix of fatty acids, verify specific ratios to assess comedogenicity.
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Jojoba Esters
- Jojoba esters, light emollient ester, low comedogenic; sebum-like, excellent spreadability.
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Olea Europaea Fruit Oil
- Olive oil, rich in squalene and oleic acid; moderate comedogenicity, caution for oily skin.
- Dipentaerythrityl Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate
- Lightweight oil emulsifier providing non-greasy feel; dual function as emulsifier and emollient
- Tridecyl Trimellitate
- Ester emollient for skin conditioning; lipophilic nature may increase comedogenicity for acne-prone skin.
- Hydrogenated Olive Oil
- Hydrogenated olive oil for emollience and viscosity; potential comedogenic, caution for oily skin
- Tridecyl Stearate
- Tridecyl stearate emollient; lightweight, moderate comedogenic
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Olea Europaea Oil Unsaponifiables
- Olive oil unsaponifiables; rich in squalene and vitamin E. Use at 1-2% for repair; stable.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Neopentyl Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
- Light emollient ester for fast spreadability and a light feel.
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
