Aggregated from the active ingredients in this product.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Comedogenicity (clogged pores, acne) | Common | More likely with heavier or highly comedogenic oils such as coconut oil in acne-prone skin. |
| Contact irritation | Uncommon | Can occur with oxidized oils or those containing irritant fatty acid profiles. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Uncommon | Botanical oils (e.g., from nuts) may trigger sensitization in predisposed individuals. |
| Folliculitis | Rare | Occlusive oils may contribute to follicular inflammation in some users. |
| Photosensitivity | Rare | Certain oils (e.g., cold-pressed citrus oils) contain furocoumarins that can cause phototoxic reactions. |
| Comedogenicity / clogged pores | Uncommon | May contribute to pore congestion in acne-prone individuals due to its rich, occlusive nature. |
| Skin irritation or redness | Rare | Occasional mild irritation, often related to other formulation components rather than shea itself. |
| No direct side effects | Very rare | As a labeling claim rather than a substance, it has no inherent biological effect; any reactions stem from the substitute emollients used instead. |
| No direct side effects from the absence of paraffin | Very rare | As a claim rather than an ingredient, it carries no inherent risk; any reactions stem from substitute emollients used instead. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Natural Oils Emollient/occlusive | Natural oils (e.g., plant-derived triglycerides and waxes) are used in skincare as emollients and occlusives to soften skin and reduce transepidermal water loss. They form a lipid layer that conditions the skin and can serve as carriers for other ingredients. |
| Shea Butter Emollient / occlusive moisturizer | Shea butter is a plant-derived fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), rich in triglycerides and unsaponifiable compounds. It is widely used in skincare to soften skin, reduce transepidermal water loss, and provide an occlusive barrier. |
| Mineral Oil Free Marketing/formulation descriptor | "Mineral Oil Free" is not an ingredient itself but a labeling claim indicating a product is formulated without mineral oil (liquid paraffin) and related petroleum-derived emollients. It describes a formulation choice rather than an active or functional substance. |
| Paraffin Free Marketing/formulation claim | "Paraffin Free" is a labeling claim indicating a product is formulated without paraffin (a petroleum-derived hydrocarbon often used as an emollient or occlusive). It is not an active ingredient but a descriptor of the formulation base. |
| Court House Unknown/Not a recognized skincare ingredient | "Court House" is not a recognized or established dermatological or cosmetic-chemistry ingredient, and no documented function, mechanism, or safety data exists for it in scientific or regulatory literature. It does not correspond to any known INCI-listed compound. |
| Lokmanya Tilak Marg N/A — not a skincare ingredient | "Lokmanya Tilak Marg" is not a dermatological or cosmetic-chemistry ingredient; it is the name of a road/street (named after Indian independence leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak, also known as Lokmanya Tilak). There is no skincare function, formulation use, or research data associated with it as an ingredient. |
| Dhobi Talao Unknown/non-ingredient | "Dhobi Talao" is not a recognized skincare or cosmetic ingredient; it is the name of a locality and historic water tank area in Mumbai, India. There is no dermatological or cosmetic-chemistry literature describing it as a topical ingredient or active. |
| Maharashtra Not a skincare ingredient | "Maharashtra" is the name of a state in western India, not a recognized cosmetic or dermatological ingredient. It has no established function in skincare formulations and does not appear in cosmetic ingredient databases such as INCI. |
