Formulation view Sensitive skin sun cream with water base, combining Octocrylene and Avobenzone. Licorice acid soothes, hydrogenated coco-glycerides moisturize, and cetearyl alcohol thickens. Gentle texture suitable for compromised barriers or redness. Factory view: Poor thermal stability of licorice extract requires temperature control to prevent degradation.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- 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.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Alcohol Denat
- Denatured ethanol; solvent, penetration enhancer, and quick-dry agent; high % may compromise barrier in dry skin.
- 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.
- Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine
- UV-B absorber, photostable; high purity and low bioaccumulation, check for impurities.
- Ethylhexyl Cocoate
- Coconut-derived ester, light emollient, low viscosity; mild, low comedogenic, oil-friendly
- Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
- Emulsifying stabilizer and emollient at 2–5%; provides creamy texture, check compatibility with anionic surfactants
- Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides
- Hydrog coco glycerides; waxy emollient; low irrit, low-mid comed, occlusive option
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Glycyrrhetinic Acid
- Glycyrrhizic acid; anti-inflammatory; poor water solubility, needs solubilization.
- Glycyrrhiza Inflata Root Extract
- Glycyrrhiza inflata extract; soothes and anti-irritates. Use at 0.1-1%; monitor glycyrrhizin levels.
- Vp/Hexadecene Copolymer
- Film-former for hair fixation; often needs co-solvents or cationic system.
- Xanthan Gum
- Natural thickener at 0.1–1%; provides gel texture, pH-stable, requires full hydration
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Silica Dimethyl Silylate
- Dimethicone modified silica for dry touch; anti-caking and oil absorption
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Trisodium Edta
- Metal chelator improving formula stability and synergizing preservatives; used at very low levels (<0.1%), control heavy metals.
- Ethylhexylglycerin
- Mild conditioner and preservative booster at 0.5–1%; reduces preservative load, smooth feel
- Phenoxyethanol
- Broad-spectrum preservative at ≤1%; may irritate sensitive eye areas, often paired with ethylhexylglycerin
