Highlights
Free of parabensFree of sulfatesFree of formaldehyde releasersContains essential oilsContains siliconesContains fragranceContains animal-derivedContains mineral oilContains alcoholContains EU-26 allergens
Formulation view Solid lip care formula with light esters and mineral waxes as base, combined with castor oil and silicones for moisture and shine. Contains vitamin E and titanium dioxide. Preserved with phenoxyethanol. Ideal for dry, chapped lips. Formulator view: Mineral waxes provide structure but potential comedogenicity requires caution on face; castor oil and silicone combo balances hydration and film formation, enhancing lip texture and comfort.

Ingredients explained
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Triisodecyl Trimellitate
- Not decoded yet
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Polybutene
- Polybutene for film forming and thickening; high-viscosity inert polymer used in setting sprays or gels.
- Phenylisopropyl Dimethicone
- Volatile silicone; smooth gloss without residue; for hair and facial care; low sensitization.
- Synthetic Wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Mangifera Indica Seed Butter
- Plant butter rich in fatty acids; provides lipid occlusion and emollience. Use with emulsifiers.
- Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Candelilla
- Botanical wax; provides structure, hardness, and film-forming properties for cream structure and moisture barrier
- Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire D’Abeille
- Beeswax, occlusive and structuring agent; animal origin, potential allergen, assess for sensitive skin; typical usage 1-3%.
- Microcristallina Cera/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcrystalline
- Not decoded yet
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Ozokerite
- Mineral ozokerite for viscosity and stabilization; derived from mineral oil, highly comedogenic, avoid facial use.
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Bisabolol
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory agent, 0.01–0.1%; low irritation, good for sensitive skin.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- 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.
- Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate
- High-efficiency lipid-soluble antioxidant preventing oil rancidity; very low usage, typically 0.05-0.1%, ensure even distribution, avoid metal-catalyzed oxidation.
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- D&C Red No. 6 Barium Lake
- Synthetic red barium lake for oil-phase tinting; barium salt must meet heavy metal limits
- Diisostearyl Malate
- Diisostearyl malate; lightweight emollient and emulsifier; non-greasy feel, biodegradable, used in premium systems.
- Sucrose
- Sucrose, water-soluble thickener and humectant; high levels prone to hygroscopy.
- Triisodecyl Trimellitate
- Not decoded yet
- Synthetic Wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- Phenylisopropyl Dimethicone
- Volatile silicone; smooth gloss without residue; for hair and facial care; low sensitization.
- Ricinus Communis Seed Oil
- Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.
- Disteardimonium Hectorite
- Inorganic ionic clay thickener at 0.25-1%; water/oil/solvent systems, rheology control, avoid strong acids, may affect active release.
- Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil
- Common in dry/damaged hair; superior penetration vs mineral oils, low comedogenic risk, poor oxidative stability.
- Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera Wax/Cire De Candelilla
- Botanical wax; provides structure, hardness, and film-forming properties for cream structure and moisture barrier
- Cera Alba/Beeswax/Cire D’Abeille
- Beeswax, occlusive and structuring agent; animal origin, potential allergen, assess for sensitive skin; typical usage 1-3%.

- Microcristallina Cera/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcrystalline
- Not decoded yet
- Propylene Carbonate
- Inert solvent and viscosity modifier; often used as penetration enhancer, mild at low levels
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
