Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Isopropylcarbonate Benzoyl Peroxide
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer
- Polyacrylamide-based thickener with strong emulsion stabilizing power; strict control of residual monomer levels is required.
- Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate
- Gentle amphoteric surfactant; pairs with amino acid surfactants.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Isohexadecane
- Lightweight mineral-oil-derived emollient and solvent; low viscosity, non-comedogenic, improves texture
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Poloxamer 124
- Not decoded yet
- Polysorbate 80
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer; watch for interaction with parabens
- Sorbitan Oleate
- Non-ionic emulsifier for oil-in-water systems; plant-derived, check oxidative stability
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
