Ingredients & why they matter
Hydrogenated Polydecene and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride form a smooth base that helps the liner glide onto skin. Microcrystalline Wax and Synthetic Wax provide structure so the pencil maintains its shape during use. Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate helps condition the skin for comfortable wear, while Meadowfoam Seed Oil and Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil nourish the lash line area. Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) offers antioxidant support to help protect delicate eye-area skin. Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate and the blend of waxes contribute to lasting color payoff and a soft, blendable finish. Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide (CI 77510) and Iron Oxides (CI 77499) may be present as colorants in some formulations. Ingredients may change or vary; refer to the packaging of your product for the exact list.
