What’s inside
Caprylic/Capric TriglycerideGenerally safe
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.
Full ingredient details →Magnesium HydroxideGenerally safe
An inorganic salt used as a pH adjuster and mild absorbent in cosmetic formulations. Well tolerated in typical cosmetic concentrations; very low skin penetration due to particle size and insolubility at skin pH.
Full ingredient details →Tapioca StarchGenerally safe
A natural plant-derived starch that absorbs moisture and adds texture to powders and dry formulations. It is derived from cassava root and is well-tolerated in topical cosmetic applications.
Full ingredient details →Jojoba EstersGenerally safe
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.
Full ingredient details →Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) WaxGenerally safe
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.
Full ingredient details →KaolinGenerally safe
A mild white clay that absorbs excess oil and lightly buffs the skin surface in wash-off masks; it is well tolerated across skin types and rinses away cleanly.
Full ingredient details →Macadamia Seed OilWatch if sensitive
A lightweight carrier oil expressed from macadamia nuts, rich in oleic acid and similar in composition to skin lipids. Very well tolerated in cosmetic use, though individuals with tree nut allergies who are cautious may want to patch test.
Full ingredient details →Shea ButterWatch if sensitive
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.
Full ingredient details →Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower OilWatch if sensitive
An essential oil from ylang ylang flowers, prized for its floral, creamy-sweet scent. It is a known fragrance allergen with documented contact sensitization in dermatitis patients; the oil oxidizes readily, so stored or air-exposed products may trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
Full ingredient details →Vitamin EGenerally safe
An antioxidant that helps protect a formula and condition skin. Well tolerated.
