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

Water

Primary solvent and base; requires preservative system to prevent microbial growth

Isoamyl Laurate

Lightweight ester emollient; fast-drying, non-greasy feel, suitable for oily skin or summer formulations

Glycerin

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

Polyglyceryl-6 Ricinoleate

Non-ionic emulsifier from castor oil, strong emulsification and solubilization, used in creams at 1-5%, gentle.

Coconut Alkanes
