Ingredients explained

Each note carries its evidence level: C comes from official inventories (NMPA names, CosIng functions, annex restrictions); E is AI inference nobody has checked yet — treat it as a candidate. How we grade evidence →

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.E · AI inference · to be verified

Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax

Mineral-derived wax; provides occlusion and hardness; petroleum origin, heavy feel, not for oily acne-prone skinE · AI inference · to be verified

Cire Cire Microcristalline)
