Highlights
Formulation view The formula uses cocoa butter, shea butter, and various plant oils to create an occlusive moisturizing layer, with grape and borage seed oils for nourishment. Adds raspberry extracts for antioxidant benefits. Thick texture suits dry skin in winter. Factory observation: High plant oil content is prone to oxidation, requiring a robust antioxidant system and strict light avoidance; high occlusivity may pose comedogenic risks for oily skin, requiring compliant labeling.
