Ingredients explained
- Titanium Dioxide
- Physical UV filter and colorant up to 25%; nano form requires attention
- Zinc Oxide
- Physical UV filter, 30% max in EU; oily at high levels, pair with oils for feel.
- Water/Aqua/Eau
- Primary aqueous solvent and carrier; no specific incompatibilities, focus on microbial stability.
- C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate
- C12-15 alkyl benzoate; emollient, emulsifier, and antistatic; aids stability and smoothness, moderate low comedogenicity.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
- Light occlusive and solvent at 1–10%; non-greasy feel, suitable for oily and combination skin
- Cyclopentasiloxane
- Cyclopentasiloxane for emollient/solvent; volatile silicone, smooth feel, check VOC regulations.
- Niacinamide
- Niacinamide at 2–5%; improves texture, controls oil, brightens; high levels may cause sensitivity
- Propanediol
- Polyol solvent at 1–5%; light feel, aids solubilization, propylene glycol alternative
- Butyloctyl Salicylate
- Oil-soluble exfoliating emollient; avoid for aspirin-sensitive users and high-concentration leave-on products
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Aluminum Stearate
- Aluminum stearate used as anticaking, emulsion stabilizer, and viscosity controller; restricted to IV/150 uses, avoid direct contact with acids.
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Glyceryl Stearate
- Emulsifier at 1-3%; may require acid to prevent saponification
- PEG-100 Stearate
- Non-ionic emulsifier, requires ionics for stability; check PEG for formaldehyde.
- Vitis Vinifera Seed Extract
- Grape seed extract with OPCs; potent antioxidant; used for skin protection and UV support; needs stabilizers.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Resveratrol
- Potent polyphenol antioxidant <1%; light-sensitive, needs antioxidants/chelators
- Lecithin
- Phospholipid emulsifier at 1-5%; biocompatible, moisturizing/antioxidant, prone to oxidation (add TBHQ), mild for sensitive skin.
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Water-soluble Vitamin C derivative for antioxidant and brightening; more stable than ascorbic acid
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Vitamin E derivative antioxidant at 0.1–1%; more stable than tocopherol, store protected from light
- Glutathione
- Antioxidant and brightening agent; unstable, requires antioxidants and protection from light.
- Acacia Senegal Gum
- Natural film-former and fragrance agent; used for viscosity or film, check purity for allergens
- Cellulose Gum
- Cellulose gum, water-soluble thickener/stabilizer; may destabilize with cationics, hydrate first.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Cellulose derivative for anti-caking, oil absorption, and physical sunscreen carrier; water-insoluble, affects texture at high levels.
- Polysilicone-11
- Not decoded yet
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane
- Silane coupling agent at 0.1-0.5%; enhances inorganic filler adhesion, trace use, low toxicity, avoid direct contact with aqueous systems.
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Polyhydroxystearic Acid
- Emulsifier and stabilizer at 1–3%; non-ionic, prone to hydrolysis.
- Synthetic Wax
- Waxy solidifier for hardness and gloss; complex mixture, not a single molecule.
- C20-40 Pareth-10
- Not decoded yet
- Hydroxyethyl Behenamidopropyl Dimonium Chloride
- Diamonium surfactant; superior conditioning for damaged hair, milder than mono
- Polyquaternium-67
- Not decoded yet
- 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
- Alumina
- Alumina, inorganic abrasive/thickener; nano-grade requires inhalation risk assessment.
- 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
