Formulation view The formulation uses microcrystalline wax and hydrogenated polydecene for occlusion, paired with four chemical UV filters for broad-spectrum protection. Sunflower extract and cetyl alcohol enhance conditioning in a benzyl benzoate-based system. Factory observation: mixing multiple waxes is key to structural stability and smooth application.

Ingredients explained

Cera Microcristallina

Mineral-derived microcrystalline wax, potent occlusive moisturizer; 1-3% significantly extends hydration, heavy texture.

Octyldodecanol

Light emollient/emulsifier at 1-5%; low comedogenic, non-greasy feel, broadly compatible, sensitive-skin friendly.

Cetyl Palmitate

Waxy ester increasing viscosity and providing heavy feel; used as emulsifier carrier, low comedogenicity, strong occlusion.

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil

Castor oil for heavy moisturization and film formation; high viscosity, high levels may be comedogenic, blend with other oils.

Homosalate

UVB sunscreen agent, often combined with others; stable but migratory; ensure regulatory compliance.

Octocrylene

UV-B absorber and photostabilizer; has concentration limits, consider potential coral toxicity and allergenicity for specific groups.

Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane

High-potency UVA filter (Parsol MXX); requires stabilizers and UVB blockers.

Ethylhexyl Salicylate

Ethylhexyl salicylate, UVB absorber; volatile, requires combination with UVA filters for broad spectrum.

Hydrogenated Polydecene

Hydrogenated polydecene, light mineral oil alternative, low comedogenic; silky, non-greasy.

Myristyl Myristate

Di-C14 ester, waxy solid for thickening and conditioning; provides matte and smooth feel, low comedogenicity, good for compacts.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant

Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2

Not decoded yet

C20-40 Alkyl Stearate

Long-chain ester for emolliency and thickening; 0.5–5% typical; hydrophobic, requires emulsification

Copernicia Cerifera Cera

Carnauba wax, viscosity and film; high melt point, heat-stable, for creams.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Shea butter for occlusive moisturizing; high melt point, rich texture, caution for oily skin.

Helianthus Annuus Seed Extract

Sunflower seed extract; flavonoids and oleic acid, 0.5–5%; antioxidant repair, match phase, low allergenicity

Cera Alba

Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience

Glyceryl Glucoside

Polyol humectant with light, non-sticky feel; less tacky than glycerin

Aqua

Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical

Propylene Glycol

Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.

Glycerin

Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives

Limonene

Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability

Linalool

Natural fragrance component at ≤0.05%; one of EU 26 allergens, caution for sensitive skin

Benzyl Alcohol

Mild preservative/solvent at 0.5-1.0%; EU allergen (labeling required), irritation risk if concentrated, avoid in infant/highly sensitive skin.

Benzyl Benzoate

Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.

Citral

Citral; citrus fragrance component, listed EU allergen, high phototoxicity risk, strict concentration limits apply.

Parfum

Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.

Ci 77891

Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions

Ci 77492

Iron oxide red; stable inorganic pigment, non-toxic; ensure dispersion to prevent sedimentation.
