1 | ricinus communis (castor) seed oil | A plant oil that can help soften the skin. It might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but solid research is lacking. Is often used in lip products to create the needed product consistency |
2 | polybutene | Used to create a thicker product consistency |
3 | rhus succedanea fruit wax | |
4 | kaolin | A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color |
5 | c12-15 alkyl benzoate | Enhances the product texture and makes it more spreadable. Helps reduce water loss from the outer layer of skin. Extands the shelf life by preventing bacteria growth |
6 | barium sulfate | |
7 | tocopherol | Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself |
8 | ascorbyl palmitate | Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable and can penetrate the skin better than L-Ascorbic acid. It is effective in protecting the skin from free radicals, as well as evening the skin tone, but is less effective in stimulating collagen production compared to L-Ascorbic acid. |
9 | tocopheryl acetate | A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients. |
10 | tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate | Being a lipid soluble form of vitamin C, it is more stable. It is claimed to penetrate skin better than pure vitamin C and have the the similar benefits, but solid studies of its effectiveness are lacking. Is likely to require a higher concentration in a product than pure vitamin C to be effective. |
11 | squalane | An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling. |
12 | zinc chloride | |
13 | aluminum hydroxide | Is used to add opaque (non-transparent) appearance to formulations. Can be used to coat other ingredients for even dispersion. This is a different ingredient compared to the ones used in antipersperants (aluminium chloride and aluminium chlorohydrate) |
14 | trihydroxystearin | |
15 | hydrogenated polycyclopentadiene | |
16 | isopropyl titanium triisostearate | Helps water and oil mix together |
17 | sodium lauroyl aspartate | |
18 | l, | The ingredient is not recognized |
19 | caprylyl glycol | Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture |
20 | phenoxyethanol | A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products |
21 | hexylene glycol | Helps create a more spreadable product texture |

23 | mica | Creates an illusion of smoother and more radiant skin tone. Adds shimmer to the skin by reflecting light |
24 | titanium dioxide (ci 77891 | Works as a UV filter when used in high concentrations. It is photostable and is effective mostly against the UVB light, with some protection in the UVA range. In small concentrations, used for its ability to improve the color of cosmetic products. Is usually well tolerated by the skin |
25 | iron oxides | A red colorant made of iron oxide. Typically is not irritating |
26 | (ci 77491, ci 77492, | The ingredient is not recognized |
27 | ci 77499 | An iron oxide. Used as a colorant. Is usually well tolerated |
