SUSTAINABILITY
Rating: Moderate
- Aqua (Water): Widely available, but excessive use in formulations can strain water resources.
- Glycerin: Biodegradable and often plant derived. Synthetic glycerin has a lower sustainability profile due to its petroleum base.
- Petrolatum: Petroleum-based and non-renewable. Biodegradable but tied to fossil fuel extraction.
- Niacinamide: Synthetic vitamin B3 derivative. Resource-intensive production, but stable and non-toxic.
- Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil): Derived from petroleum, non-renewable. Biodegradable but impacts tied to fossil fuel extraction.
- Dimethicone: Silicone-based emollient. Non-biodegradable and persistent in the environment, though it has low toxicity.
- Cetearyl Alcohol: Plant-derived fatty alcohol, renewable, and biodegradable when sustainably sourced.
- Lactic Acid: Biodegradable and derived from natural fermentation. Environmentally friendly with minimal impact.
- Glyceryl Stearate SE: Biodegradable and partially plant based. Sustainability depends on the source of stearic acid.
- Ceteareth-20: Synthetic surfactant derived from polyethylene glycol (PEG). Biodegradability is low, and production involves petrochemicals.
- Sodium PCA: Biodegradable, derived from natural amino acids, and with minimal environmental impact.
- Stearic Acid: Typically, plant-derived (e.g., palm or coconut oil). Biodegradable but environmental impact depends on sustainable sourcing.
- Caprylyl Glycol and 1,2-Hexanediol: Synthetic humectants, biodegradable, with moderate environmental production impact.
- Laureth-3: Synthetic surfactant. Low biodegradability and potential aquatic toxicity; production involves petrochemicals.
- Xanthan Gum: Biodegradable, naturally derived through fermentation of sugars.
- Sodium Hydroxide: Widely used in small quantities. Low environmental impact when used responsibly.
- Ceramide NP, Ceramide EOP: Synthetic or plant derived. Synthetic versions have higher environmental footprints.
