Ingredients explained
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Mineral Oil
- Occlusive emollient preventing water loss; must use high-purity medical grade to avoid impurities.
- Ethylhexyl Isononanoate
- Light synthetic ester for smooth, non-greasy feel; low irritation, non-comedogenic
- 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.
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer used as a thickener; chemically inert, no known skin irritation.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- Oil-absorbing powder at 5–20%; for pressed/powder makeup, high levels may feel heavy
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
- Jojoba oil rich in unsaturated fats; good penetration, non-comedogenic, prone to oxidation requiring antioxidants
- Blue 1
- Synthetic water-soluble dye for color; use within regulatory limits
