Ingredients Explained

  1. 01These ingredients are found in both products.
  2. 02Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
  3. 03Cera Microcristallina, aka microcrystalline wax, is a petroleum-derived wax that helps thicken texture and stabilize the oils in formulas.
  4. 04It also has mild occlusive properties that creates a film on skin to slow down water loss.
  5. 05The CIR Expert Panel has concluded this ingredient to be safe as used in cosmetics.
  6. 06This ingredient is refined to a cosmetic grade with high purity. It is chemically inert, stable, and doesn't clog pores (petroleum has a comedogenic rating of 0).
  7. 07Malassezia feeds on fatty acids roughly in the C11-24 range and this ingredient contains none of those. Since there's no plausible food source for it here, this ingredient is fungal acne safe.
  8. 08Ci 77891 is a white pigment from Titanium dioxide. It is naturally found in minerals such as rutile and ilmenite.
  9. 09It's main function is to add a white color to cosmetics. It can also be mixed with other colors to create different shades.
  10. 10Ci 77891 is commonly found in sunscreens due to its ability to block UV rays.
  11. 11This ingredient comes from a palm tree native to Brazil. This ingredient is used to thicken texture and leaves behind a film when applied.
  12. 12Parfum is a catch-all term for an ingredient or more that is used to give a scent to products.
  13. 13Also called "fragrance", this ingredient can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.
  14. 14For instance, Habanolide is a proprietary trade name for a specific aroma chemical. When used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics, most aroma chemicals fall under the broad labeling category of “FRAGRANCE” or “PARFUM” according to EU and US regul…
  15. 15The term 'parfum' or 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.
  16. 16For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance by INCI standards.
  17. 17One example is Calendula flower extract. Calendula is an essential oil that still imparts a scent or 'fragrance'.
  18. 18Depending on the blend, the ingredients in the mixture can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.
  19. 19Parfum can also be used to mask or cover an unpleasant scent.
  20. 20The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.
