Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
- UVA absorber used with other filters; poor water stability and photolability, requires light stabilizers, max concentration typically 10%.
- Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol
- UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- 4-Methylbenzylidene Camphor
- UVB filter, requires combination with UVA filters; provides photostability, usage limit by regulation.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- 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
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Cyclomethicone
- Volatile silicone for light feel; contains D4 restricted by EU, must be <0.1% after 2026
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Methylparaben
- Preservative, narrow spectrum; often combined, check allergen risk and regulatory limits.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Fragrance
- Fragrance; concentration must control allergen risk, label specific components
- Propylparaben
- Medium-chain preservative; restricted use, pH-sensitive efficacy.
- BHT
- Lipophilic antioxidant at 0.01-0.05%; ineffective with acidic systems, label-sensitive, check regulatory limits as preservative alternative.
