Ingredients explained
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Synthetic Beeswax
- Synthetic wax for binding/emulsion stability; replaces natural wax, lower allergenic risk
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Di-C12-15 Alkyl Fumarate
- Di-C12-15 alkyl fumarate emollient, light skin feel; minor solvent action.
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax
- Carnauba wax for hardness/occlusion/film; plant-derived, confirm extraction purity
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Heavy, occlusive plant butter; medium comedogenic rating, avoid on oily skin.
- Lauryl Lactate
- Lauric lactate ester; mild emollient and emulsifier; suitable for all skin types, low allergenicity.
- Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide
- Arginine/Lysine polypeptide for skin conditioning; biologically derived, small molecular weight, high safety profile
- Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
- Palmitoyl oligopeptide for firming; water-soluble bioactive peptide, avoid high heat, functional additive.
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Oryza Sativa Bran Oil
- Rice bran oil rich in oryzanol and linoleic acid for conditioning; moderate comedogenic rating, mind oxidative stability.
- Triticum Vulgare Germ Oil
- Nutrient-rich emollient with Vit E; low irritancy but relevant for gluten-sensitive; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil
- Natural seed oil rich in linoleic acid; moisturizing, prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants
- Safflower Oil/Palm Oil Aminopropanediol Esters
- Not decoded yet
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Ethylhexyl Palmitate
- Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Tribehenin
- Waxy emollient providing slip; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidant system; good for dry skin.
- Sorbitan Isostearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier (low HLB); typically used in blends, low comedogenicity, soft skin feel.
- Stevioside
- Natural sweetener for oral care; bitter aftertaste possible at high levels.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Solubilizer and emulsifier for oil-soluble ingredients; high concentrations may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive skin.
- Vp/Eicosene Copolymer
- Water-soluble film former and thickener; no known irritancy or comedogenic issues.
- Benzyl Alcohol
- Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.
- Flavor
- Food-grade flavoring; verify cosmetic compliance and allergen content if used in skincare.
