WithSimplicity Retractable Brow Pencil

A clean, plant-based retractable brow pencil made with botanical waxes and nourishing oils to define and shape brows while staying fully aligned with low-tox, petroleum-free beauty standards.

Ingredients:

Copernicia cerifera wax (carnauba wax), Euphorbia cerifera cera (candelilla wax), Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, Olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, coconut oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, Ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil.

May contain (+/-): Titanium dioxide (CI 77891), iron oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).

What I like:

  • EWG Rating: 2 — low hazard, placing this in a solid low-tox category for brow products.

  • This formula is built entirely on plant-based waxes and oils, with no plastic polymers or petroleum-derived ingredients.

  • Carnauba and candelilla waxes provide natural structure and soft, flexible hold.

  • Jojoba, olive, coconut, and castor oils help condition brow hairs and prevent dryness or flaking.

  • Pigment comes from iron oxides, not synthetic dyes.

  • The retractable design offers easy, mess-free application without sharpening.

  • This pencil fully aligns with petroleum-free, plant-forward beauty standards.

Things to keep in mind:

  • This is a natural oil-and-wax-based brow pencil, so wear time will be softer than long-wear synthetic formulas.

  • Because it does not contain plastic film-formers, you may need light touch-ups throughout the day.

  • This pencil is not waterproof.

  • As with all natural makeup, temperature can affect firmness, especially in warmer environments.

Pregnancy / Breastfeeding Notes:

  • Jojoba oil, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, and caprylic/capric triglyceride are considered low risk and safe for topical cosmetic use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

  • Tea tree oil is present at very low cosmetic levels for antimicrobial support; while not classified as a reproductive toxin, some pregnancy-safe practitioners recommend minimizing essential oils on the face during the first trimester, especially with very sensitive skin.

  • Iron oxides and titanium dioxide are inert mineral pigments and are considered pregnancy-compatible when used in pressed cosmetic products.

  • This formula contains no retinoids, salicylates, PFAS, endocrine disruptors, plastic polymers, or petroleum-derived ingredients.

  • Because this is a solid pencil (not a loose powder), inhalation exposure is minimal.
