Ingredients explained

C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters

Botanical ester mixture for emollience and emulsification; deemed safe, non-comedogenic

Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2

Not decoded yet

Diisostearyl Malate

Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.

Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate

Phytosterol blend for skin conditioning; gentle, barrier-repairing, low irritation.

Synthetic Beeswax

Synthetic wax for binding/emulsion stability; replaces natural wax, lower allergenic risk

Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate

Natural oil-derived ester offering thickening and emollience; light non-greasy feel, better oxidative stability

Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate

UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.

Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate

Mild non-ionic emulsifier for creams; oily feel, suitable for dry skin, control usage for oily skin

Mangifera Indica Seed Butter

Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.

Ozokerite

Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.

C20-40 Alcohols

Blended long-chain fatty alcohols for emulsification and skin conditioning; moderate comedogenicity (2–3), avoid for oily skin, pair with emulsifiers

Polyethylene

Plastic polymer particles for abrasion or film; check EU ban on microplastics in rinse-off products, flush-off only

Calcium Sodium Borosilicate

Fluorphlogopite; plate-like filler and thickener. For powders and creams, improves texture and coverage.

Ethylhexyl Palmitate

Synthetic ester emollient with light skin feel; small molecule, slightly comedogenic, use cautiously for acne-prone skin, often blended with other oils.

Synthetic Fluorphlogopite

Mica filler at 1-10%; luster/thickening, inert, verify mineral purity, no public comedogenic data.

Decyloxazolidinone

Decyloxazolidinone, antimicrobial/skin conditioner; low concentration safe, moderate irritation, avoid metal contact

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Luffa Cylindrica Seed Oil

Plant-derived oil with unsaturated fatty acids; used for skin conditioning, cold-pressed retains activity, needs antioxidants for stability.

BHT

Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.

Vanillin

Fragrance component; EU limit 0.85%, potential allergen, oxidation sensitive.

Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate

Triester emollient for rich moisturization and film; non-volatile, low comedogenicity

Tin Oxide

Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Propyl Gallate

Oil-soluble antioxidant for oil stability; mild skin irritant.

Red 6

Synthetic dye for coloration; restricted or banned in some markets, check local regulations

Red 7

Synthetic colorant for coloring; may cause pigmentation, use caution in sensitive skin

Red 7 Lake

Red color lake, poorly water-soluble, for powders or aqueous systems; regulatory compliance required

Yellow 6

Synthetic water-soluble dye; potential allergen, use with care in sensitive skin, often needs stabilizers.

Yellow 6 Lake

Water-insoluble form of Yellow 6 for coloring; usage restricted by regulations

Yellow 5

Synthetic dye for color; known allergen, may irritate sensitive skin.

Yellow 5 Lake

Yellow 5 lake for color; stability affected by pH and metal ions

Blue 1 Lake

Water-insoluble blue pigment dispersed in aqueous phase; ensure compliant use, no direct skin benefit

Red 21

Synthetic colorant Red 21 for color; restricted in some countries

Red 21 Lake

Not decoded yet

Red 22 Lake

Synthetic dye for coloring; usage limits apply in oral products, monitor concentration in cosmetics

Red 27

Red 27 (CI 15850) water-soluble dye for color cosmetics; follow regulatory limits

Red 27 Lake

Water-soluble azo dye lake colorant; monitor heavy metals and sensitization potential.

Red 28 Lake

Red lake pigment; for coloring and masking. More stable than dyes, monitor batch variability.

Red 30

Synthetic azo dye for coloring; subject to regulatory limits, ensure compliance

Red 30 Lake

Red 30 lake for color; water-insoluble, requires stable dispersion

Carmine

Natural red colorant (cochineal); may trigger reactions in those with insect protein allergy

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

Bismuth Oxychloride

White pigment at 5–20%; for makeup coverage, may cause sensitivity in some

Iron Oxides

Inorganic pigment for color; particulate form, inhalation risk low in cosmetics.

Manganese Violet

Purple inorganic pigment for color; water-insoluble, used in powders/creams
