Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.
- Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone
- Tinosorb S UV filter for UVA; low skin irritancy, photostable, use in sun care formulations.
- Diisopropyl Adipate
- Diisopropyl adipate for emollience and plasticizing; lipophilic, potential comedogenic
- Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol [Nano]
- Nanoclearance UV stabilizer (UV 378); high stability, combines well, verify nano-particle regulatory status.
- Oryza Sativa Starch
- Oil-absorbing powder filler with smooth feel; potential to clog pores for oily skin; hygroscopic, store dry
- Alcohol
- Ethanol for solubility/drying at 5-15%; high conc. is drying/irritating, avoid lip/eye, low residue, balance with humectants.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
- Cetyl phosphate potassium, O/W emulsifier; pH-sensitive, often requires buffering.
- Lauryl Glucoside
- Mild nonionic surfactant for cleansing; 1-5%, suitable for sensitive skin
- Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate
- Plant-derived emulsifier, mild feel; for O/W systems, combine with co-emulsifiers
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Tapioca Starch
- Tapioca starch; powder thickener/oil absorbent; inert, mild comed risk at high conc
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Caprylyl Glycol
- Polyol conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–3%; emollient feel, often paired with 1,2-hexanediol
- Citric Acid
- Buffer and chelator at 0.1–2%; adjusts pH, may irritate sensitive skin at low pH
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Glutamic Acid
- Glutamic acid, non-essential amino acid humectant; high levels can be astringent, buffer needed.
- Glyceryl Laurate
- Glyceryl laurate, emollient and emulsifier; plant-derived, gentle, low comedogenicity, suitable for cream systems.
- Glycine Soja Oil
- Soybean oil emollient; prone to oxidation, needs antioxidants; suitable for dry skin
- Lens Esculenta Seed Extract
- Lentil seed extract with proteins; provides skin protection and conditioning
- Pentylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 1-3%; low irritancy, suitable for sensitive skin
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Sodium Phytate
- Chelating agent stabilizes metal ions to prevent oxidative degradation; also used in oral care, high safety profile.
- Tocopherol
- Natural antioxidant (vitamin E) at 0.1–1%; prone to oxidation, store protected from light
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Zinc Gluconate
- Chelated zinc salt with antimicrobial and deodorizing effects; used in antiperspirants and oral care; has EU concentration limit.
