Ethylhexyl Triazone

UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.

Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer

Butylene Glycol

Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel

Behenyl Alcohol

Fat alcohol emulsifier/thickener at 1-3%; low comedogenic risk, check solubility in strong acid/base systems, add antioxidants.

Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate

Non-ionic emulsifier at 1–3%; mild, easily combined with other surfactants.

Dipropylene Glycol

Solvent for essential oils; better humectancy than PEG

Carbomer

Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility

Isododecane

Synthetic hydrocarbon solvent providing dry, silky skin feel; high volatility, non-comedogenic, common in sunscreens and foundations, usage 5-30%.

Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate

Synthetic thickener and emulsion stabilizer for gels or emulsions; generally inert to skin; watch residual monomers.

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Crosslinked silicone thickener at 0.5-2%; silky/matte feel, non-comedogenic, partial oil phase incompatibility, use co-solvent/pre-emulsification.
