Formulation view Core physical sunscreen using Zinc Oxide, paired with lightweight esters like Coco-Caprylate to minimize powdery feel. Glycerin provides hydration, stabilized by a gentle preservative system. The formulation balances mineral coverage with an emollient texture, suitable for sensitive and oily skin. From a formulator's perspective, the blend of light emulsifiers ensures excellent spreadability and a non-greasy finish while maintaining high SPF protection.

Ingredients explained
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Purified Water
- Deionized or purified water serving as the formulation solvent base; requires protection from microbial contamination, typically constitutes the majority of the formula.
- Coco-Caprylate
- Coconut/caprylate ester for light emollient finish; balance with humectants.
- Octyldodecanol
- Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate
- W/O emulsifier for fatty acids; contains PEG, verify preservative compatibility.
- Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate
- Mild emulsifier for O/W systems; 1-3%, avoid cationic surfactants
- Gluconolactone
- Multifunctional agent for chelation and permeation; acidic, may irritate at high levels, buffer recommended.
- Isostearic Acid
- Fatty acid derivative as emulsifier auxiliary and emollient; insoluble, requires homogenization, may feel slightly greasy
- Sodium Chloride
- Salt for gel viscosity control; used as precipitant in soaps
- Cetearyl Glucoside
- Gentle non-ionic sugar-based emulsifier for low-irritation formulas; often co-blended
- Sodium Benzoate
- Preservative booster, effective below pH 4.5; combinable with sorbates
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
