Ingredients explained
- Petrolatum
- Mineral oil occlusive and antistatic; requires full refining history to ensure absence of potential carcinogens.
- Polybutene
- Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.
- Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate
- Mild non-ionic emulsifier for creams; oily feel, suitable for dry skin, control usage for oily skin
- Hydrogenated Polyisobutene
- Hydrogenated polyisobutene; petroleum-derived lubricant forming breathable film; high purity, low irritation/comedogenicity.
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- PVP
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone for film forming and thickening; used in styling and adhesion, occasional eye irritation reported.
- Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer
- Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- PPG-51/Smdi Copolymer
- PPG/SMDI copolymer for hair conditioning and fixing; provides gloss and hold.
- Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride
- Blended triglycerides providing slip and occlusion; mix of fatty acids, verify specific ratios to assess comedogenicity.
- Ceramide NG
- Skin lipid repair ingredient to restore barrier; non-irritating, suitable for sensitive and compromised skin
- Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter
- Plant oil for emollience and conditioning; high lipid content, pair with emulsifiers
- Sea Whip Extract
- Coral extract for skin conditioning; low usage, check source stability
- 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.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- C12-16 Alcohols
- Fatty alcohol mix for conditioning and stability; very low comedogenicity, enhances feel.
- Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Ethylene/propylene/styrene copolymer for viscosity control; inert polymer with no known irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
- Lipophilic Vitamin C derivative, antioxidant and brightening; more stable than VC, oil-soluble, must pair with oil phase
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin
- Emulsifier from lecithin; stable, used in powder emulsions
- Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer
- Butylene/ethylene/styrene copolymer used as a thickener; chemically inert, no known skin irritation.
