- Novel UVB absorber at 0.2-1.5%; narrow band, requires combination, high photostability, verify regional limits, low irritation.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract
- Aloe vera leaf extract for soothing and humectant; monitor polysaccharide level and endotoxins
- Ethylhexyl Triazone
- UVB absorber with good photostability; formulated with other filters, typical concentration 3-5%, check compatibility with other ingredients.
- 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.
- Distarch Phosphate
- Crosslinked starch phosphate; absorbent/anticaking, may feel dry at high levels
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Hydrogenated Dimer Dilinoleyl/Dimethylcarbonate Copolymer
- Not decoded yet
- Glyceryl Stearate
