Ingredients and why they matter
- Isododecane — a lightweight solvent that provides smooth glide and quick-drying properties for even color distribution.
- CI 77499 (Iron Oxides) and CI 77510 — colorants that deliver rich, stable pigments across matte and pearly finishes.
- Synthetic Wax and Synthetic Beeswax — waxes that help form a durable, transfer-resistant film on the eyelid.
- Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer and Polymethylsilsesquioxane — binders that improve wear-time and create a smooth, even texture.
- Silica and Mica — texture enhancers that help the product grip the skin and provide subtle luminosity where desired.
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil — contributes to the product’s slip and helps maintain a comfortable, blendable feel.
- Oryza Sativa (Rice/Riz) Bran Wax and Pentaerythrityl Tetra-di-t-butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate — stabilizers and antioxidants that support product integrity and longevity.
