A common ingredient in skincare and haircare products. It's used to improve the texture of products, increase water resistance, and help deliver ingredients to the skin. This ingredient has no known side effects or toxicity. DERIVED FROM repeating units of siloxane. Siloxane is made up of elemental silicon and oxygen which is then refined for use in cosmetic and skincare formulations.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT
Silicone remains a topic of concern in community forums due to a lack of understanding of the integrity of this ingredient’s process. Through various and numerous testing, this ingredient has proved to show no known toxicity to humans when used in its proper supported use in skincare and cosmetic preparations.

Used as a dispersing agent and emulsion stabilizer. Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer is a silicone powder that produces a silky feel on the skin. It has been documented to show protective and hydrating properties when used topically in formulations. Because of its large molecule size, it is unable to penetrate the skin, allowing it to function as a skin barrier to shield skin, known to "blur" fine lines and wrinkles in appearance, and protect pores from exposure to environmental contaminants while still allowing skin to breathe. DERIVED FROM silica (an abundant Earth element) cross-linked with glycol. This process creates a dimethicone crosspolymer and shows improved stability compared to their linear counterparts. The independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel has found dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer to be safe when used in skincare products.

Silicone remains a discussion of interest on community platforms. Through various and repeated testing, this ingredient has proved to show no known toxicity to humans when used in its proper supported use in skincare and cosmetic preparations.
VRAI IQWhen using products with dimethicone, be sure to properly cleanse face and body where products containing dimethicone have been applied, as this ingredient does not absorb into the skin and will remain topical until removed.

Works as an emollient that allows cosmetics products to glide easily for application, dry quickly, and leave the skin feeling silky smooth. As a solvent, it helps to deliver other active ingredients in the formulation to the skin. Although rare, it can cause irritation to those with sensitive or reactive skin. This ingredient has no known side effects or toxicity. DERIVED FROM silica, oxygen, and alkane which is then refined for use in cosmetic and skincare formulations.

Mica is a naturally occurring silicate mineral and used as a colorant that imparts a reflective shine for a shimmer effect, or for a healthy glow in cosmetic formulations. DERIVED FROM silicite minerals.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT
Because concern exists in community forums over the safety of this ingredient although numerous testing has found it to be safe in cosmetic use, the independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel has deferred evaluation until the FDA does an assessment. Currently, the FDA lists mica as a color additive exempt from certification and deems it safe for using as a colorant in cosmetics and personal care products.
VRAI IQAlthough Mica is repeatedly found safe for use in cosmetic applications, and has been refined for cosmetic productions, controversy exists around this ingredient due to the dangers during mining. Direct inhalation of mica dust for prolonged periods of time can result in abrasion and scarring of the lung tissue. If you have found yourself in such situation where you have forgotten your miner’s mask, and will have prolonged exposure to raw mica minerals during mining, it would do you well to worry. If you are sweeping a stunning color across your eyelid or cheekbone for a youthful radiant glow, you may proceed with joyous abandon.

A powerful and stable oil-soluble Vitamin C ester with antioxidant properties to neutralize free radicals. When formulated with products containing vitamin E (tocopherol) it has shown to work synergystically to target the skin’s underlying support system and preserve collagen. At levels as low as 0.1% it shows antioxidant benefits and when used in concentrations up to 2% helps to maintain skin integrity. DERIVED FROM Hexyldecanol and Ascorbic Acid.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) is an important fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties that has been shown to help protect skin from ultraviolet rays by neutralizing free radicals. DERIVED FROM naturally from a variety of vegetable oils and fats.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT

Helps to maintain hydration by forming a medium weight barrier on the skin. Rich in fatty acids and vitamin E when used topically, it helps to boost natural ceramides in skin, making it an ideal moisturizer with a light viscosity. DERIVED FROM seeds of the sunflower.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT

Jojoba esters are a complex mixture of long chain fatty acids from jojoba oil and hydrogenated jojoba oil that are used to give strength and structure to products and creams. The result is smooth, richly hydrated skin. DERIVED FROM jojoba oil.
WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS INGREDIENT

A form of Vitamin C that provides antioxidant benefits and helps to stabilize delicate ingredients in formulations. Known for its ability to penetrate the skin tissue and stimulate collagen production, making it an aid in reducing the appearance of fine lines and imperfections. DERIVED FROM combining palmitic acid with ascorbic acid.

Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate acts as a soothing skin-conditioning agent to enhance the appearance of dry, damaged skin by helping to reduce flaking and restore suppleness. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe stressed skin and diminish minor irritation. DERIVED FROM licorice root, it is an ester of stearyl alcohol and Glycyrrhetinic acid (licorice root).

Titanium dioxide is used in a variety of personal care, skin care, and cosmetic formulations used to enhance pigments, absorb and scatter light (sun filter), and improve application coverage. In cosmetic formulations it helps to thicken the formulation and is an opacifying agent. Titanium dioxide has been shown effective in protecting against both UVA and UVB rays. As its particles are too large to penetrate the skin, it remains topical on the skin surface, providing protection. Because of its gentle composition, it is ideal for those with sensitive or easily irritated skin to help soothe and protect. When titanium oxide is used for cosmetic formulations, it is micronized and coated and classified as a non-nanoparticle. DERIVED FROM naturally occuring oxide of titanium when reacted with oxygen.

VRAI IQTitanium dioxide as a raw material for cosmetic use does not carry the same risk as Titanium dioxide in its raw form which has not been prepared for cosmetic use. Outdated studies done on Titanium dioxide in its raw form remain and continue to cause concern. Such studies were performed with direct inhalation of Titanium Dioxide in its raw, nanoparticle form (uncoated and not micronized) for a period of eight continuous hours. The study done in that form concluded serious adverse health effects. Titanium dioxide that has been prepared for cosmetic use (meaning it has been coated, micronized, and is a non-nanoparticle) has been found safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel and European Union when used in its proper form, in concentrations up to 25%
