Ingredients explained
- Aqua/Water/Eau
- Water as solvent/base; main ingredient, microbial control needed, paired with preservatives.
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate
- Light emollient solvent at 5–15%; mineral oil-free, refreshing feel, low sensitization.
- Diisopropyl Sebacate
- Low-viscosity, high-flash-point ester; excellent spreadability, non-greasy feel
- Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol
- UV stabilizer (UV-326/328) preventing photo-degradation of formulas; has EU concentration limit, used in sunscreens.
- Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane
- High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Methylpropanediol
- Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Mild alkyl glucoside, biodegradable; foam stabilizer, thickens with fatty alcohols, low allergenicity.
- Ectoin
- Cosmectin and skin protector, enhances skin tolerance; water-soluble, 0.1–5% common, compatible with most systems
- Xylitol
- Polyol humectant, sweet taste; water-soluble, high hygroscopy, excess draws moisture.
- Rhamnose
- Polysaccharide humectant for hydration; used at low levels, mild flavor aid.
- Fructooligosaccharides
- Prebiotic polysaccharide for hydration/skin conditioning; high levels may feel sticky
- Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract
- Brown algae extract for hydration and film-forming; high loads may affect clarity.
- C20-22 Alkyl Phosphate
- Long-chain phosphate surfactant for emulsification and cleansing; anionic, incompatible with cationic quaternary ammonium compounds.
- C20-22 Alcohols
- C20-22 fatty alcohols for emulsion stability and viscosity; provide slip, high levels can be heavy.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.
- Coco-Glucoside
- Mild non-ionic surfactant for cleansing and foaming; rich foam, low irritation, suitable for sensitive and children's products
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- 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.
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Disodium Edta
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
- Chlorphenesin
- Phenolic antimicrobial; strict EU limits apply, potential allergen, careful dosing required for leave-on products.
