SUSTAINABILITY
Rating:
Low to Moderate
- Paraffinum
Liquidum (Mineral Oil): Derived from petroleum, a
non-renewable resource. Biodegradable but linked to fossil fuel extraction.
- Petrolatum:
Petroleum-based and non-renewable. While its
production is less toxic than other petroleum derivatives, it is not
biodegradable.
- Isopropyl
Myristate: Synthetic ester, moderately
biodegradable. However, production involves petrochemicals.
- Polyethylene:
Synthetic polymer, non-biodegradable, and a
contributor to microplastic pollution.
- Aluminium
Starch Octenylsuccinate: Modified starch derived from
natural sources. Biodegradable, but aluminum processing has a high
environmental impact.
- Cetearyl
Alcohol: Plant-derived fatty alcohol that is renewable and
biodegradable if sustainably sourced.
- Ozokerite:
Naturally occurring mineral wax. Non-renewable and
resource-intensive to extract, but biodegradable over time.
- Dimethicone:
Silicone-based emollient. Non-biodegradable and
persistent in the environment but have low toxicity.
- Silica:
Mineral-based and abundant, with low environmental
impact. Processing and mining practices can influence sustainability.
- Ceramide
NP, Ceramide EOP: Synthetic or plant derived.
Production impacts vary, with synthetic ceramides having a higher environmental
footprint.
- Cholesterol:
Typically, animal- or synthetic-derived.
Biodegradability and sustainability depend on sourcing.
- Carthamus
Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil: Plant-based, renewable, and
biodegradable. Farming practices influence environmental impact.
