Ingredients explained
- Castor Seed Oil
- High-viscosity emollient with strong occlusive properties; high comedogenic risk, limit use to lip care or low concentrations.
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate
- Esther emollient for a light, silky feel; heavy at high concentrations.
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride
- Blended triglycerides providing slip and occlusion; mix of fatty acids, verify specific ratios to assess comedogenicity.
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate
- Bio-mimetic lipid ester for emulsification and texture; provides high slip and is suitable for silicone-free formulas.
- Paraffin
- Paraffin wax for occlusion/viscosity control; inert/safe, may affect breathability
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil
- Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables
- Oleic unsaponifiables (squalane/phytane); heavy-duty emollients suitable for dry, damaged skin repair
- Orange Peel Oil
- Essential oil, fresh scent, 0.1-1%; high photosensitivity, boost SPF during day, caution for sensitive skin.
- Shea Butter
- Natural butter providing emollient and occlusive moisturizing; used as emollient and emulsifier.
- Sunflower Seed Oil
- Vegetable oil, high linoleic acid; prone to oxidation, requires antioxidants, shelf-life sensitive.
- Avocado Oil
- Avocado oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids for nourishment and repair; heavy texture.
- Jojoba Seed Oil
- Jojoba seed oil; ester-rich, skin-like emollient; low irritation potential.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Cacao Seed Butter
- Not decoded yet
- Acetylated Sucrose Distearate
- Not decoded yet
- Phytosteryl Macadamiate
- Phytosteryl macadamiate for hair and skin care; good occlusion
- Microcrystalline Wax
- Petroleum-derived hard wax for lipsticks and ointments; provides high-melting structure, heavy feel, potentially comedogenic
- Caprylyl Gel Lycol
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Pentae Lysrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- Not decoded yet
- Panthenol-D
- Not decoded yet
- Tea
- Tea extract with polyphenols; high antioxidant activity, batch variability, monitor concentration
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
