Ingredients explained

Aqua/Water

Solvent, formulation base; requires preservation, pure water is microbially prone.

Alcohol Denat

Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.

Diisopropyl Sebacate

Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Silica

Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products

Titanium Dioxide

Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention

C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate

C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.

Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Amino acid surfactant; mild cleansing agent with conditioning benefits for hair and skin.

Zea Mays Starch/Corn Starch

Not decoded yet

Niacinamide

Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity

Ethylhexyl Triazone

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

Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate

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

Triethanolamine

Triethanolamine for buffering; restricted, limit concentration to avoid high pH and irritation

Glyceryl Stearate

Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification

Behenyl Alcohol

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

Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol •Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol

Not decoded yet

Drometrizole Trisiloxane

UVB sunscreens agent; limited by EU, must be used within strict limits.

N-Butyl Alcohol

Solvent and denaturant used to dissolve other ingredients

Tocopherol

Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light

Sodium Hyaluronate

Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture

Phenoxyethanol

Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin

Thermus Thermophillus Ferment

Probiotic ferment with humectant properties; use as a low-level skin conditioning agent

Salicylic Acid

Lipophilic BHA at 0.5-2%; exfoliant/sebum control, irritation/sensitization at high conc., photosensitivity (SPF needed), avoid sensitive/pregnant.

Polyglyceryl-10 | Laurate

Not decoded yet

Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions

Xanthan Gum

Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration

Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract

Astringent and soothing claims; used in toners/cleansers; monitor for plant protein allergies.

Zingiber Officinale Root Extract / Ginger Root Extract

Not decoded yet

Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract

Cinnamon bark for hair and fragrance; some allergens require labeling; watch oral dosage.

Caprylyl Glycol

Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol

Capryloyl Salicylic Acid

Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.

Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid

UV absorber and light stabilizer; EU regulated, check max levels and formulation stability

Bisethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine

Chemical UV filter for UVB protection; verify compatibility and stability with other UV filters in the formula.

Disodium Ethylene Dicocamide PEG-15 Disulfate

Not decoded yet

Disodium EDTA

Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy

Cetyl Alcohol

Cetyl alcohol for emulsification/thickening; high concentration >10% may irritate.

Butylene Glycol

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

Potassium Sorbate

Preservative effective below pH 6; combinable with sodium benzoate

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate

Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
