Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Salvia Sclarea Flower/Leaf/Stem Water
- Not decoded yet
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate
- Mild emulsifier and emollient; 1-3%, suitable for O/W systems
- Persea Gratissima Oil
- Avocado oil rich in fatty acids and vitamin E; occlusive moisturizer, use with caution on oily skin.
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Cetearyl Olivate
- Natural emulsifier pairing with glucosides; skin-like feel, biodegradable, prone to oxidation requiring light protection
- Sorbitan Olivate
- O/W emulsifier, HLB ~15, requires ionic co-surfactant, potential sensitizer.
- Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate
- Ester emollient for silky feel and thickening; 1-5%, avoid acidic systems
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Cetyl Palmitate
- Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Glyceryl Caprylate
- Mild emulsifier/deodorant at 0.5-2%; polyol ester, high humectancy, low irritancy, check cationic surfactant compatibility.
- Sorbitan Palmitate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, typically used in W/O or blending systems. Low toxicity, non-comedogenic.
- Sodium Anisate
- Benzoate-based preservative component; used in combinations for antimicrobial effect, slight fragrance, control concentration.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Sodium Levulinate
- Sodium levulinate, natural-derived humectant; generally mild, often used in blends.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Linalool
- Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract
- Plant extract, soothing properties; contains natural allergens, high levels may irritate.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
- Benzyl Cinnamate
- Fragrance ingredient; EU listed allergen, must be declared if above threshold
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
