Addict Lip Glow - 001 Pink

A polyol ester emulsifier that stabilizes water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions with minimal irritation. Like other polyglyceryl esters, it is valued for its mildness and is used across a range of skincare and color cosmetics.

A linoleic-acid-rich plant oil used as an emollient and, in some small pediatric studies, associated with support of the skin barrier when applied to infant skin. It is well tolerated with a low reported rate of contact reactions.

A mild synthetic emulsifier and conditioning agent derived from plant sterols and amino acids. It is gentle and generally well tolerated in skincare formulations.

A wax ester derived from jojoba oil that closely resembles the skin's own sebum esters, used to soften and smooth skin. Available safety data has not flagged meaningful irritation or sensitization risk at cosmetic use levels.

A plant-derived wax extracted from the Euphorbia cerifera shrub native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. It provides emollient and thickening benefits and has a long history of traditional use with no documented sensitization or irritation concerns at typical cosmetic concentrations.

A rich plant butter pressed from shea tree nuts, valued for softening and cushioning dry skin. It is generally well tolerated, though very rare allergic reactions have been reported and people with tree nut allergies who are cautious may want to patch test first.

A water or bran extract of rice containing ferulic acid, small peptides and starches. It is a traditional East Asian skincare staple with some supporting antioxidant and mild-brightening data, but most of that evidence comes from cell or animal studies rather than large human trials, so the "brightening" claims on finished products go further than the direct evidence.

A lightweight, odorless emollient made by combining coconut or palm-derived fatty acids with glycerin. It spreads easily, feels non-greasy, and has a long history of use in skin and hair products with no meaningful irritation or sensitization signal.

An undisclosed scent blend that can contain dozens of components. The single most common cause of cosmetic contact allergy, and the blend is not itemized, so you cannot see what is in it.

This is a triester made from trimethylolpropane and isostearic acid, used as a thick, cushiony emollient in lipsticks, creams, and makeup to soften texture and add slip. It belongs to a well established family of fatty ester emollients with a low irritation history, though a dedicated CIR report specific to this ester was not located, so the evidence here leans on its close chemical relatives rather than ingredient specific testing.

A diester formed from malic acid and isostearyl alcohol. It conditions and smooths skin with no known safety issues in cosmetic use.

An antioxidant that helps protect a formula and condition skin. Well tolerated.

Ethyl Vanillin is a synthetic flavor and fragrance ingredient that supplies a stronger vanilla-like scent than vanillin itself, used in fragranced skincare, lip products, candles, and other personal care items. Animal skin-sensitization testing (a mouse local lymph node assay) found no sensitizing potential up to 50% concentration, but as with any added fragrance material, people who already react to fragrance ingredients in general may still want to patch test first. It is a distinct molecule from vanillin, which the EU added to its expanded fragrance-allergen labeling list in 2023; ethyl vanillin itself is not on that list.

A fat-soluble vitamin C ester that provides antioxidant activity on skin. It is more stable than free ascorbic acid and is graded low concern in published assessments, with rare reports of sensitization at high concentrations.

Propyl Gallate is a synthetic antioxidant, the propyl ester of gallic acid, added in small amounts to fats and oils in a formula to slow rancidity. CIR reviewed human patch-test data and lowered its recommended safe-use ceiling over time, most recently to 0.1%, after finding the ingredient can act as a contact sensitizer at higher concentrations. Sensitization here is a documented reaction in a subset of exposed people at the higher concentrations once allowed, not a majority outcome at current permitted levels.
