Ingredient Logic
The Ingredient Glossary
One entry per ingredient, written once and surfaced everywhere — on flip cards, on product ladders, and here. If an ingredient is in an ingredientlogic formula, it has a page.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Extract
An extract of true lavender flower.
Part of the botanical preservation system. Lavender has traditionally been used to help keep formulas fresh, which is how we hold a powder stable without parabens or phenoxyethanol.
Full entry →Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Extract
An extract of common garden thyme.
Part of the botanical preservation system. Thyme is traditionally used to help keep formulas fresh, and it is one of the reasons the ingredient list can end at nine names.
Full entry →Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract
An extract of the green tea leaf.
An antioxidant botanical that helps protect the oils in the formula from going off, so the compact stays true through the life of the pan.
Full entry →Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract
An extract of rosemary leaf.
The most established natural antioxidant in the botanical preservation system. It guards the jojoba and safflower oils against oxidation, which is what lets us skip a synthetic preservative.
Full entry →Organic Chamomile
An extract of chamomile flower, certified organic.
A comfort botanical for skin that has reacted before. It also contributes to the freshness of the botanical preservation system.
Full entry →Organic Vanilla
An extract of the vanilla bean, certified organic.
It is here for scent, and we would rather name it than write the word fragrance. There is no synthetic fragrance in the formula and nothing hiding behind a proprietary blend — this is the whole of the scent story.
Full entry →Oregano Leaf
An extract of oregano leaf.
The lead botanical in the preservation system of the Liquid Foundation. Traditionally used to help keep formulas fresh, it is a large part of why the bottle needs no parabens or phenoxyethanol.
Full entry →Olive Leaf
An extract of the olive tree leaf.
Part of the botanical preservation system, working alongside oregano, thyme, rosemary, lavender and goldenseal.
Full entry →Goldenseal
An extract of the goldenseal root, a North American woodland plant.
The sixth botanical in the preservation system. Six named plants doing the job that one unnamed synthetic usually does — that trade-off is the whole reason the list is longer and fully disclosed.
Full entry →Chicory Root Extract
A plant extract rich in inulin, drawn from chicory root.
It conditions the film left on the lash, which is what stops a natural mascara from feeling brittle by the end of the day.
Full entry →Organic Cinnamomum Zeylanicum (Cinnamon) Bark Extract
An extract of true cinnamon bark, certified organic.
Another named plant in the primer's botanical preservation system, in place of a synthetic preservative.
