Used in cosmetics as an emoliant and UV filter. Isododecane helps to retain moisture in the skin at its surface, and when used in cosmetic primers, helps to hold the hue integrity of pigments in makeup. Simply put, your makeup remains appearing flawless throughout the day. Due to its molecule size, it is not absorbed into the skin, allowing it to perform and function topically for visible benefits. Its lightweight formula is non-comedogenic and fast drying. DERIVED FROM converting starch and sugar residue into isobutene.

Tribehenin functions as an emollient and thickening (or gelling) agent with skin conditioning properties, and as a compacting agent for pressed powders giving the formula flexibility and ideal application. It is a soft and amorphous (non-crystalline) wax that can be used to modify the properties of other waxes and helps to prevent moisture loss. DERIVED FROM the glycerin and behenic acid found in both animal and vegetable fats and oils including tallow, palm-nut, and coconut oils.

In cosmetics, polyethylene is used as a, binder, bulking agent, emulsion stabilizer, film former, and as a viscosity increasing agent nonaqueous. DERIVED FROM ethylene. Polyethylene has been extensively reviewed by regulatory authorities and final determination regards it as a safe ingredient to be non-hazardous when used properly in cosmetic applications and does not present any side effects on the skin and hair including skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. It is important to note that it cannot penetrate the skin due to its large size and therefore has no adverse effects and is deemed safe for use in cosmetics.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT
A note from Melissa: I realize and appreciate the concerns around polyethylene being a compound used in the production of plastics. However extensive research left me without valid data that polyethylene, when used properly in cosmetic formulations, caused disruption to the human structure. However this ingredient remains on the VRAI IQ watchlist and if warranted, the rating will be adjusted.

An ester of long-chain (hydroxylated) coconut fatty acids, it is used as a thickening agent. This ingredient also shows skin conditioning properties. DERIVED FROM the reaction of fatty primary amines with ethylene oxide.

Though glycols are a topic of discussion in community forums, there is no reported evidence showing toxicity to humans when used in its proper supported use in skincare and cosmetic preparations.

Propylene Carbonate functions as a solvent in cosmetic formulations and acts as a viscosity controlling agent. It is a long-lasting solvent that forms a protective film on the skin and helps prevent water loss, resulting in the appearance of smooth, conditioned skin. Propylene carbonate is non comedogenic. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel found propylene carbonate to cause moderate skin irritation in its raw undiluted form; however found no concerns in its diluted form as properly used in cosmetic formulations (at concentrations up to 20% showing no irritation or sensitization) and deemed this ingredient safe for cosmetic use. DERIVED FROM: propylene glycol and carbonic acid.

VRAI IQWhile the word "propylene" can be cause for pause, it should not be confused with propylene glycol. Propylene carbonate is a carbonic acid of propylene glycol.

Phenoxyethanol is used as a preservative and stabilizer and carries a faint rose scent. Decades of research and safety assessments have allowed experts worldwide to conclude it is safe for use in cosmetic products in both leave-on, and rinse-off formulations. Phenoxyethanol was first introduced in 1950 and is among the most highly effective preservatives for protecting formulas from broad-spectrum pathogenic activity. Phenoxyethanol is synthetically produced for commercial use but is found naturally in green tea which is often used to preserve products listed as "natural" and is approved for use by the EU standard in formulations with a maximum concentration of 1%. The FDA currently does not carry a regulated standard for concentration use. DERIVED FROM: treating phenol with ethylene oxide in an alkaline medium. It is also found naturally in green tea, and plants such as chicory.
WITH EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT controversy remains strong over the use of phenoxyethanol and when exposed to its pure form in 100% concentration, has been shown to affect the central nervous system. (NOTE: cosmetic formulations use 1% or less.) Due to risk of potential concern, it is best to avoid this ingredient for products that will have significant skin contact. Use in hair formulations that will not contact the scalp, or in brow applications which are applied to the brow hair making minimal to no skin contact, or in mascaras when applied only to the lash, carry little to no concern as these applications are making no, to minimal contact with the skin. Lashes and hair do not have the ability to absorb what is applied, and carry it into the tissues or blood stream.
VRAI IQIn conclusion, a best practice would be to avoid this ingredient in products with significant skin contact, and use confidently in products with little to no skin contact, as phenoxyethanol does prove to be the safest among preservatives, ensuring the formulation remains safe to use and can pass safety testing as well as ocular testing in products.

Triethoxycaprylylsilane is a silicone based ingredient used as an emulsion stabilizer, and binder to coat pigments and to coat mineral sunsreen actives allowing for a more ideal texture and application and can help to reduce oxidative stress. It carries a proven track record of being safe in cosmetic formulations reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel and EU agencies. DERIVED FROM the hydrosilylation of 1-octene and triethoxysilane.

VRAI IQControvery exists over silicas (silicones) and their relation to silicosis however silicosis is caused by the inhalation of cystalline silica dust. Crystalline silica is not used in cosmetic use. Silicas used for cosmetic formulation is amorphous silica (non crystalline) so the association between silicosis from cystalline is irrelevant to the cosmetic formulations containing silica from amorphous silica. Although outdated research documenting health concerns still exist, it is rebuted by more current research and conslusions from 2016 Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) studies which concluded Triethoxycaprylylsilane safe for use in cosmetics when used in its proper form. There are nearly 200 siloxanes and siloxane derivities listed in the inventory of ingredients used as complied by the European Commission. Opinions and conclusions that categorize all silicones / siloxanes as one concers are inaccurate as each compound functions and preforms uniquely. The siloxane compounds used in VRAI cosmetics have been concluded as safe for use in cosmetics when formulated in their proper use form by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the European Union Commission.

A compound of iron and oxygen, Iron Oxides are cosmetic pigments used to add color without the use of dyes, and to help protect the skin from visible light. DERIVED FROM natural minerals.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT
Controversy over the use of Iron Oxides and mica minerals remain due to concern when exposed to iron oxides in their raw form during the mining process, as direct inhalation of raw materials can cause distress to the respiratory system.
VRAI IQIf you have found yourself in the unfavorable situation of having forgot your miner’s mask while mining for iron oxides, it would do you well to leave the mining site and take pause for concern. When used in cosmetic formulations, iron oxides have been proven to be non-comedogenic, non-toxic, non-allergenic, and repeatedly were shown to have no known adverse health effects.
