Ingredients explained
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Trioctyldodecyl Citrate
- Polyol ester for emollience and texture; low comedogenic, good for light formulas.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Lanolin Oil
- Lanolin oil; occlusive emollient with high comedogenicity (3–4), avoid for acne-prone skin, blend with other oils
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax/Candelilla Cera/Cire De Candelilla
- Candelilla wax, natural hardener/occlusive; mp 55-60°C, blend with other waxes for crystal form.
- Ozokerite
- Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
- Not decoded yet
- Hydrogenated Polydecene
- Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.
- Polyethylene
- Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only
- Microcrystalline Wax/Cera Microcristallina/Cire Microcristalline
- Microcrystalline wax thickener/occlusive; high melt point, add hot, heavy feel if overused
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Triticum Vulgare Germ Extract
- Wheat germ extract, nutrient-rich; contains gluten, test for sensitivity.
- Glycine Soja Seed Extract
- Soybean extract for skin conditioning; low allergen risk, monitor batch protein variability.
- Hordeum Vulgare Extract/Extrait D’Orge
- Barley seed extract; peptides/minerals for antioxidants/soothing; solvent affects impurities
- Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter
- Plant oil for emollience and conditioning; high lipid content, pair with emulsifiers
- Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil
- German chamomile oil with alpha-bisabolol for soothing; essential oil with allergen risk, use low, label as fragrance.
- Butyrospermum Parkii
- African oil/fat/wax; clarify form (oil, butter, or powder) as function depends on it.
- Cholesterol
- Cholesterol; barrier repair lipid mimicking stratum corneum; often blended with ceramides, plant or fermentation source.
- Ceramide 3
- Ceramide 3 to restore skin barrier and moisturize; used at 0.01–1%, often blended
- Acrylates Copolymer
- Acrylate synthetic polymer for film forming and antistatic; breathable film, control dosage carefully
- Linoleic Acid
- Essential fatty acid for barrier repair and hydration; oxidizes easily, high levels may be comedogenic
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Calcium Sodium Borosilicate
- Fluorphlogopite; plate-like filler and thickener. For powders and creams, improves texture and coverage.
- Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate
- Synthetic powder filler for smooth feel and coverage; inert.
- Synthetic Fluorphlogopite
- Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.
- Polyethylene Terephthalate
- Polyester microcrystals for film forming; strict particle size control, EU ban in rinsing-off fluids/lotions
- Barium Sulfate
- Inert mineral filler and thickener; not absorbed by skin, avoid dust inhalation in powder processes
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- Vanillin
- Fragrance component; EU limit 0.85%, potential allergen, oxidation sensitive.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Iron Oxides
- Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.
- Blue 1 Lake
- Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit
- Carmine
- Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy
- Copper Powder
- Copper powder; metallic colorant, antimicrobial; oxidizes, requires sealed packaging.
- Red 6
- Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations
- Red 28 Lake
- Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.
- Red 7 Lake
- Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required
- Red 30 Lake
- Red 30 lake for color; water-insoluble, requires stable dispersion
- Red 33 Lake
- Water-soluble red dye lake for color; low concentrations used, watch for visual accumulation.
- Yellow 5 Lake
- Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions
- Yellow 6 Lake
- Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations
