Ingredients explained
- Avobenzone
- Organic UV filter for UVB and part of UVA-I; poor photostability, used in synergy with other filters.
- Homosalate
- UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.
- Octisalate
- Octyloleate, ester solvent and emollient; used in sunscreens or diluting oils, light texture
- Octocrylene
- UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.
- Water
- Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Silica
- Silica powder at 1–10%; absorbs oil, thickens, provides matte finish, for oil-control products
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil
- Hemp seed oil, non-psychoactive, emollient for skin and hair; high linoleic acid, needs antioxidants
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Stearic Acid
- Fatty acid emulsifier, white waxy solid; adds slip feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Steareth-100
- Not decoded yet
- Palmitic Acid
- Palmitic acid for emulsification/emollient; solid fat, high melting point, occlusive.
- Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate
- Cationic water-soluble polymer; stabilizer and conditioner, test compatibility with anions
- 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.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Capryloyl Salicylic Acid
- Oil-soluble salicylic acid derivative for gentle pore unclogging; milder than BHA, suitable for daily acne care.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Myristic Acid
- Saturated fatty acid, saponification feedstock; insoluble alone, pairs with stearic acid.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
