Formulation view Paste texture with Zeolite for oil absorption, enriched with Shea Butter and silicones. Innovatively uses Protease and Subtilisin enzymes for gentle exfoliation. Antioxidized with Tocopherol. Ideal for thick stratum corneum or oily skin. Formulator's note: Enzyme activity is pH and temperature sensitive; polyols modulate reaction rates to prevent barrier damage, use with caution on sensitive skin.

Ingredients explained
- Zeolite
- Mineral absorbent for oil control and odor; anti-caking agent; 1-5% typical in dry forms
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Vegetable Oil
- Generic vegetable oils for hair/skin conditioning; specify oil type and oxidative stability.
- Polysorbate 20
- Non-ionic emulsifier and cleansing surfactant; contains PEG, control microbial load.
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Stearyl Dimethicone
- Silicone emulsifier/modifier for texture. Highly occlusive; use caution in acne-prone skin or if silicone sensitivity is a concern.
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil
- Occlusive emollient for smooth feel; high levels may be comedogenic, use caution for acne-prone skin
- Protease
- Protease for exfoliation; control pH and concentration to protect barrier, avoid strong acid/alkali.
- Subtilisin
- Protease enzyme for gentle exfoliation by breaking down dead skin. Strictly control concentration and contact time; excessive use may compromise the barrier.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax
- Carnauba wax for hardness/occlusion/film; plant-derived, confirm extraction purity
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Hydrogenated castor oil for emollient, emulsifying, mild cleansing; ensure high purity
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Polyacrylamide
- Film former and thickener for slip and feel; acrylamide monomer residue risk, strict QC required, restriction III/66
- Behenyl Alcohol
- Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.
- Stearyl Alcohol
- Stearic alcohol; fatty alcohol for emulsion thickening/structure, often blended with soaps, moderate comedogenicity.
- Laureth-7
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for emulsification and solubilization; biodegradable
- C13-14 Isoparaffin
- Light hydrocarbon solvent providing emolliency and solubility; non-allergenic, note occlusive nature
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
