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.
- Rhus Verniciflua Peel Wax
- Natural wax for gloss and occlusion; high sensitization risk from Rhus, test rigorously.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Lanolin
- Wool-derived lipid, excellent occlusive emollient; high sensitization rate (wool alcohols), caution for sensitive skin.
- Euphorbia Cerifera Wax
- Carnauba wax for hardness/occlusion/film; plant-derived, confirm extraction purity
- Copernicia Cerifera Wax
- High-melting plant wax; thickener and abrasive for exfoliation or texture, high load may clog
- Tricaprylin
- Ester oil used as solvent or fragrance carrier; lightweight feel, potential low sensitization
- Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
- Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate
- Synthetic powder filler for smooth feel and coverage; inert.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
- Sunflower seed oil for emollient/occlusive; high linoleic acid, low comedogenicity.
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Maltodextrin
- High-MW multifunctional excipient for thickening, binding, and emulsion stability; inert, non-penetrating conditioning.
- Tin Oxide
- Inorganic mineral pigment providing opacity and suspension; requires skin safety assessment, typically used in sunscreens or powder colorants.
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Ci 75470
- Inorganic pigment for color and scent; EU restricted, compliance required.
- Ci 77491
- Iron oxides red; physical pigment. Coloring and photo-protective, stable and non-irritating.
- Ci 77492
- Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
- Ci 77499
- Inorganic colorant manganese dioxide used in cosmetics; restricted use component subject to regulatory limits.
- Ci 75120
- Not decoded yet
- Ci 77007
- Mica-based colorant, restricted use; mineral origin, check heavy metal impurities compliance
